Milemarking - Banner Pilot

I’ve chased this blue moon down all night

Have I been gaining any ground?

Your picture’s stapled to my dash

I’m done killing time in gray ghost towns

I’m heading south in search of life

The blinding turns, the twisting knives

Now I’m just driving straight on

I’ll scrape the freezing rain from off this windowpane

A couple states from sane, eyes aching, drift, awaken

Until the ice bleeds blue, until the green shoots through, until I get to you

I’ll brace for your screen door

Gravity struck, I rolled downhill

Seen depths I’ve never seen before

It’s hard to warm against concrete

Can’t wrap your arms around a floor

So now I beat a fast retreat

Back to SLP and your street

Can you, can you just hold on?

I’ll scrape the freezing rain from off this windowpane

A couple states from sane, eyes aching, drift, awaken

Until the ice bleeds blue, until the green shoots through, until I get to you

I’ll brace for your screen door

Living reckless and naive

It’s always so easy to leave but then it’s hard to get back

I closed my eyes and I looked at you, counted up all of my mistakes

Choked some more muddy coffee back and I did my best just to stay awake

If I could just stay awake

If I could just stay awake

If I could just stay awake

Don’t know why I left you

If I could just stay awake

If I could just stay awake

If I could just stay awake

Don’t know why I left you
