lyrics

I am waiting for a train at two in the morning hoping I'll find you.
I swear I can't recall your face so it's time to tell you.

I'm tired of waiting for the stars to light this passage, you're still far out of reach.
And every night I stretch my arms to their place of origin, I feel the same defeat.

CHORUS:
Slow your movements down, I can't keep up. You've thrown this man away.
This one-way street just isn't love.
x2

Have you ever seen the sun rise brokenhearted, it's light is cold and vague.
In place of warmth there is a space where it's hard to focus, and I have lost my tastes.

CHORUS

I'm tired of the late nights, I'm tired of the moon, I wish you wouldn't see me right through.
I'm tired of this winter light, I feel it in my bones, I hoped that you would guide my way home.

Now I'm standing in your doorway, afraid to touch it. The missile's in the air.
You told me once that this was lost, but I think I found it. Or maybe you don't care.

CHORUS x2

Mr. Plastic
by Glowbug

This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island

Tour EP
by Teen Daze

I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
