Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I spend the afternoon in cars
I sit in traffic jams for hours
Don't push me, I am not okay
[Verse 2]
The sky is blue, most everyday
The lemons grow like tumors
They are tiny suns infused with sour
[Verse 3]
Lonely, as a cloud
In the Golden State
The coldest winter that I ever saw
Was the summer that I spent
[Verse 4]
The only substance is the fog
And it hides all that has gone wrong
Can't see a thing inside the maze
[Verse 5]
There is a bridge adored and famed
The golden spine of engineering
Whose back is heavy with my weight
[Verse 6]
Lonely, as a cloud
In the Golden State
The coldest winter that I ever saw
Was the summer that I spent
[Verse 7]
Be still this old heart
Be still this old skin
Drink your last drink
Sin your last sin
[Verse 8]
Sing your last song
About the beginning
Sing it out loud
So, the people can hear, let's go
[Verse 9]
Be still this sad day
Be still this sad year
Hope your last hope
Fear your last fear
[Verse 10]
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one, let's go
[Verse 11]
My falling shape will draw a line
Between the blue of sea and sky
I'm not a bird, I'm not a plane
[Verse 12]
I took a taxi to the gate
I will not go to school again
Four seconds was the longest wait
[Verse 13]
Four seconds was the longest wait
Four seconds was the longest wait
Four seconds was the longest wait
Four seconds was the longest
