It's always blue and black or breaking skin,
well cover up girl, we'll finally begin.
And you breath me in so well,
in your room under the cover of this night.
We are safe; we are, as long as you whisper.
But my eye was caught by your picture.
That's hanging from your mirror,
like something you forgot.
I'll say that we couldnt sleep
just staring at the clock.
But when numbers seem to blur
and reflection is lost,
anything is love as you stare into your box.
So now we're used to the rain.
We can swim and I'll say we were never worried.
Because the floods will only bring
the coast, and Atlantic closer.
I thought I told you girl,
I thought I showed you the reason
that all I truly want is to get in your head.
And steal your imagery,
so we can both go
to your second story house.
You would never beleive this snow.
It gets so heavy on our lungs.
But it's creeping up your walls
and closing down the roads.
But I swear i'm loving while.
I swear I still will hide away from the cold.
well cover up girl, we'll finally begin.
And you breath me in so well,
in your room under the cover of this night.
We are safe; we are, as long as you whisper.
But my eye was caught by your picture.
That's hanging from your mirror,
like something you forgot.
I'll say that we couldnt sleep
just staring at the clock.
But when numbers seem to blur
and reflection is lost,
anything is love as you stare into your box.
So now we're used to the rain.
We can swim and I'll say we were never worried.
Because the floods will only bring
the coast, and Atlantic closer.
I thought I told you girl,
I thought I showed you the reason
that all I truly want is to get in your head.
And steal your imagery,
so we can both go
to your second story house.
You would never beleive this snow.
It gets so heavy on our lungs.
But it's creeping up your walls
and closing down the roads.
But I swear i'm loving while.
I swear I still will hide away from the cold.

wow
If you stay quite and drift you will be safe (if you wisper).
but then something in life grabs your very soul (in the song it's a picture)
and the staring off into space and blur is about how life can just blur all together when it really starts going.
Then about how anything appears to be love if you star at it long enough. then about how life is full of ups and downs which make it worth it for the big moment when it all doesn't matter anymore. but then the end of the song the writer is like fuck it I want to hide from the world.
this is just how I read into the story. :)
curious to see what direction the band goes in with it's new members. Rolo15 for life! lol
well cover up girl, we'll finally leave again.
you breathe me in so well.
in your room under the cover of this night,
we are safe. we are, as long as you whisper.
but my eye was caught by your picture,
that's hanging from your mirror like something you forgot.
we'll say we couldn't sleep, just staring at the clock.
when numbers seem to blur, and reflection is lost,
well anything is love, as you stare into your box.
so now we're used to the rain.
we can swim and i'll say we were never worried.
because the floods will only bring the coast
and the atlantic closer. i thought i told you girl,
i thought that i showed you the reason
that i all i truly want is to get in your head,
and steal your imagery so we can both go
to your second story house. you would never believe this snow.
it gets so heavy on our lungs.
it's been creeping up your walls and closing down the roads.
i swear i'm loving while, i swear i'll still hide,
i'll hide away from the cold.
"i think that for me, every day would be the last day of summer, and i'd be left out in the cold, with no place to go.. because there are very few people that i can relate to every again in my life, ever to... understand me, because i've gone places where very few people ever go. i mean, i played the ultimate gamble. i gambled my life."
"you're fine. go back to work and we'll let you know when she comes."
i swear we're almost there and we'll be safe inside.
down those stairs to your room where i could stay for days.
the substance is over us. please don't do this, no.
'cause this may never change! oh, i'm still here, here.
so they say.

beautiful lyrics. easily my favorite lydia song.
lydia is by far my favorite band.
anyone know when they'll be working on another album?
they write a lot of about drugs, and the end dialogue is from and interview with george jung on the special features off the movie "blow"
and when George Jung comes in.. ah it gives me chills.
