lyrics

lift off
but i watch you dive back into your armor now

into the light
that can take you if you understand what it’s all about

i come down the road to your doctor’s house
and then i stay awhile

i’m gone
but you come back into your armor now

into short light
that comes alive when you are all around

i could drown on the road to your mother’s house and then she’d stay awhile

sometimes i crawl back into light
sometimes i crawl back into night

you come
take me to the dark but you can’t follow through

they gawk
take the doctor for the medicine he wanted for you

it’s hard to take izzy’s life when she’s unsure

sometimes i crawl back into light
sometimes i crawl back into night

then the stars really shine
the stars really shine

sometimes i crawl back into light
sometimes i crawl back into night

then the stars really shine
the stars really shine
