maybe in august - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Maybe in August

I will take the bus to see you

Be near you, to breathe your air

With my head on the cool glass

Tracing out the endless coastline

Till my eyes blind with the water's glare

[Verse 2]

After most of the day's passed

When I've exhausted all my readings

I see buildings on the horizon

Stepping out in the station

Shaking life back into my limbs

I let it sink in

You're everything I lay my eyes on

[Verse 3]

And while i'm trapped in the dark here

With half a pharmacy at bedside

So clearly you greet me

Lift me up and dry the tears that I cried

[Chorus]

And i'll try to ask

Does your city shine the way it does for you?

Or has your sight grown dim after years

Of the old hypochondriac's blues?

[Verse 4]

If you're not well by August

I will go the other way

To spend a few days by your side

Well, red envelopes emptied

Plus what's hidden in my dresser

There's enough with hard work, enough to try

[Verse 5]

Oh love, my recital, practiced all your lines at night

Now I'm ready to fight and I will make plans

For when this world is ours, distance will lay in it's grave

And everything that we made will always stand

[Verse 6]

So if I end up travelling

Further north than I have ever been

I will meet you at bedside

To bring light inside the room you're captive in

[Chorus]

And try to ask

Does your city shine the way it does for you?

Or has your sight grown dim after years

Of the old hypochondriac's blues?

[Verse 7]

"All lovers will suffer"

And that we learned from every song

But our luck may be turning

It's not like we've stayed anywhere for long

[Outro]

Hold out for a refund

Keep the receipts safe in your care

Make no large deposits

But everything permitting i'll be there
