Lyrics:

We drank and I convinced you that the wildfire smog was the Northern Lights

Lately I’ve been looking at you harder, just taking you in

At the callous on your fingers from the handbrake grips on your junkyard bike

And your boots so filled with water

I mean, soaking wet

But you could punch me in the gut

And it wouldn't hurt like watching

You go smaller on the backroad

And I never ask for much

But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado

Oh I, can’t keep on starting over

Sleeping in a bed half empty

Daydreamin’

All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will

Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still

Are you good at stayin’ still

Oh well will you up and leave

Or will you be there in the morning

I always hated the sunlight at 3 pm

Where it’s too soon to quit thinking

But too late to change anything

I’m racking my brain for the one line

That would change your mind

Showing you plane crashes online

It couldn’t hurt to try

But the Charles meets the sun

And the Harvard track team runs, past my truck, stuck on Storrow

And I never ask for much

But I hope that Logan crumbles, and gets hit by a tornado

'Cause I can’t keep on starting over

Sleeping in a bed half empty

Daydreamin’

All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will

Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still

Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still

Are you good at stayin’ still

Put in love, put in hours, put in ceremony

As it was, how you were, what was there before me

Nevermind, nevermind, oh forget about it

I’ll be good, I’ll be fine, I can laugh about it

I try, to keep, on starting over

Sleeping in a bed half empty

Daydreamin’

All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will

Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin’ still

Are you good at stayin’ still

Are you good at stayin’ still

Oh well will you up and leave

Or will you be there in the morning
