lyrics

I’ve train hopped through dimensions
Been a boxer in the ring
And nobody could knock their sense in
‘Caus I saw red every swing
I’ve been a lawyer in a courtroom
Scared of losing everything
And I’ll be a firefighter soon
If I don’t fix things up with you

I had to find the worst in me
To get the best damn view this side of the milky way
It’s so funny all the things you miss
When you’re blowing kisses from the airlock

I had to find the version you saw
So my family tree got the chainsaw
It’s so funny all the things you wish
When you’re blowing kisses from the airlock

I don’t see what you see in me

I’ve train hopped through dimensions
Been a puppet on a string
And I’ve loved to hold attention
’Til it wore me sick and thin
I sold snake oil to a widow
Told her, “this’ll fix everything”
My home it had no windows
It was all I ever knew
And then came you

I’ve train hopped through dimensions
Been the victim throwing stones
Fell in love with all the tension
And the feel of a microphone
You are my weighted blanket
And those wormholes are gonna close
I was always good with language
But talking can erode
What we think we know
