Milemarking lyrics

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 off this window pane;
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;
You can t wrap your arms around a floor.
So now I beat a fast retreat back to SLP and your street;
Can you just hold on?

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 did my best just to stay awake.

If I could just stay awake,
Don t know why I left you.
