lyrics

Find the autumn in your eyes,
The picture-perfect sky,
The rise and the decline,
The rise and the decline.

The shuffling of papers and such anxious sounds,
The scowl on your face as you're writing it down,
The fingertips scraping against brick and stone,
The shadows that follow will find their way home.

Words fail with all of the talk around town.
They're just making noise.
The meters expire as we're making our rounds.
There's always a green one for me.

A sigh to documenting time,
The thought of asking why,
The rise and the decline,
The rise and the decline.

The shuffling of papers and such anxious sounds,
The scowl on your face as you're writing it down,
The fingertips scraping against brick and stone,
The shadows that follow will find their way home.

Words fail with all of the talk around town.
They're just making noise.
The meters expire as we're making our rounds.
There's always a green one for me.

The shadows of the trees are drawing lines upon the street,
That we can use to draw a map to document the setting sun.
The spaces in between are filled with warmth for you and me,
So we can sit here on the curb. We can witness this whole thing.

And we'll smile.
And we'll smile.
And we'll smile.
And we'll smi-
le.

Like an old ghost ship rising from cursed waters, A Sunken Ship Irony emerges once again. We are soaked, old, and bruised, but we're still alive (if you could call this living).
