But the sugar’s canceling out the medicine
Where you wanna
Where you gonna go
Turn the light off
And nobody knows
Who you wanna
Who you need to know
Turn the light off
Cuz I wanna go home
But the sugar’s canceling out the medicine
Watch the carpenter’s palm wrap around it
And the captain sail clouds till he found it
In the rafters, angle the spotlight down it
Your radio hidden in cloud, in
A pillow on her bed, the sound is
“There’s usually no way around it”
But
Hold it, or you’ll lose it
(Tell the nurse each time, you’re on the top floor)
No more pleading ignorancе
You want it, so you have it
(But you’re scared of hеights, so what’d you do that for)
Sleep in, spending time with him
So give in and go use it
(Summer nights, I was high above, one story up)
You know where you’ll go with this
Cuz we plan the appointments
(Great talks, huh)
But the sugar’s canceling out the medicine
But there’s one thing I never brought up
Where you wanna
Where you gonna go
(I found it in time, I buried the box)
Turn the light off
And nobody knows
(A final high five for Team Albatross)
Who you wanna
Who you need to know
(Oh, but you had to outdo me, you had to one up)
Turn the light off
Cuz I wanna go home
(When I said his name, you pocket-tucked)
Help her she’s stuck
You left the atlas in your truck for me
And the gobos on to set the scene
We follow crumbs, we’re the ones who love too long to miss
We give away more than we ever should have had to give
Hold it, or you’ll lose it
(Captain, who am I, do I deserve this)
No more pleading ignorance
You want it, so you have it
(Obits and licenses, we type, the engine’s searching)
Sleep in, spending time with him
So give in and go use it
(So copy & paste it and tell him look up)
You know where you’ll go with this
Cuz we plan the appointments
(Help him he’s stuck)
But the sugar’s canceling out the medicine
There’s one thing I never brought up
Where you wanna
Where you gonna go
(I found it in time, I buried the box)
Turn the light off
And nobody knows
(A final high five for Team Albatross)
Who you wanna
Who you need to know
(Oh, but you had to outdo me, you had to one up)
Turn the light off
Cuz I wanna go home
(When I said his name, you)
Where you wanna
Where you gonna go
(I found it in time, I buried the box)
(Captain, never end the conversation)
Turn the light off
And nobody knows
(A final high five for Team Albatross)
(You haven’t since my mother’s 9pm frustration)
Who you wanna
Who you need to know
(But you had to outdo me, you had to one up)
(So I cried, new to life, until you called my name)
Turn the light off
Cuz I wanna go home
(When I said his name)
(In your arms, your rumbling voice)
Turn the light off
Cuz I wanna go
(A conga heartbeat, safe)
(When I said his name)
The light off
Cuz I wanna go
(In your deejay broadcast ‘cross the sky)
(When I said his name)
The light off
Cuz I wanna go
(Pink clouds at night)
Hi Em, it’s Dad, I know it’s 8:30 but I finally stopped running, it’s Saturday, and I had promised I would call you back. Um, if we don’t connect today, maybe we’ll talk tomorrow. Hope you’re having a wonderful evening. Hm-mm, bye bye
