lyrics

Victims of the longer days
Drifted slowly in a humid haze
Tired, taking triple of
The recommended dose

Cigarettes and restlessness
You were twisted in a timeless sense
A 1960s nightmare
Just a bored Midwestern ghost

I start to sift through static coming over the line
I turn the speakers up loud until the pieces combine
I try to trace the signal back as it begins to unwind
I let the current fade back into the heat of the night

With everything you left inside a song

I guess that all the signs were there
The scratches in the silverware
The warping in the window panes
The paint chips on the wall

Think back to when we got the news
The scene begins to fade on cue
The sound's the only constant
When I think of it at all

I start to sift through static coming over the line
I turn the speakers up loud until the pieces combine
I try to trace the signal back as it begins to unwind
I let the current fade back into the heat of the night

With everything you left inside a song
With everything you left inside a song

Think back to when it finally hit
It took a while to admit
That there was no solution
That could bring things to the start

Some mistakes are permanent
You give up or get used to it
And some songs work like surgeries
And others just leave scars

I start to sift through static coming over the line
I turn the speakers up loud until the pieces combine
I try to trace the signal back as it begins to unwind
I let the current fade back into the heat of the night
With everything

With everything you left inside a song
Oh everything you meant inside a song
With everything you left inside a song
