Chloroform


Every time I drive away
The sunset fades to yesterday
Now this cycling thunderstorm
Arrives with rain like chloroform

These storms deliver fractured sleep
For scattered secrets I'd never keep
The sun, the moon, the stars for you
Drifting off and out of view

But tonight, I don't need nothing
In the morning, I'll be gone

Imperfect places for imperfect lives
But now it won't be long
Oh now it won't be long

Retracing steps beneath the moon
The stars would lead me back to you
But fogged obstructions still remain
The midnight clouds conceal the rain

These winding roads and interstates
Cause complex hearts to grow irate
They're overworked and built to flood
In slumber with what can't be won

But tonight, I don't need nothing
In the morning, I'll be gone

Imperfect places for imperfect lives
But now it won't be long
Oh now it won't be long

Anything but nothing
Something out of our control
Watch the screen as it fades to black
While the credits slowly roll

With the story we've been sold
Always left out in the cold

But tonight, I don't need nothing
In the morning, I'll be gone

Imperfect places for imperfect lives
But now it won't be long
Oh now it won't be long

Oh now it won't be long
My love, it won't be long
