[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
I believe everything you say
'Cause you're not frightened
The way I've been so
So I follow you
Just in case you lose your way, yeah
So glad you let me stay around
The chain-linked fence you climbed
To make forbidden lakes our own
Yours and mine
And with ease of the seagulls
We cut the engines and we cruise high
In the summer sky

[Interlude: Stephan Jenkins]
Now I could speak to everything

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
But there's no room for my voice
When sweet feedback
Is jumping through the hoop of your ear
Ring! There goes the phone
And then you're off again
On what the caller brings you
So when I trashed myself at the bar
Confused for nothing thinking you'd be there
I'm so embarrassed 'cause it's you
Who comes to take care of me
Shambling home again with you in lead
And it's not the way I want to go
[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
AI'm mad at you, and I'm mad at me
Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say
'Til your amber beads of wisdom come
And I want to write it down
Just the way you said it, oh no
So I could keep it always, always

[Break]

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
I can't forget the smell
Of summer trees at midnight
Bending backwards to please the wind
You touch the tattoo of the sun
On a warm belly that once carried a baby for a while
Then let that crackled leather jacket 'round you fold
Red-faced saints monogrammed in gold
And in this beauty, I would not go any further
'Cause I suddenly remembered
We can't live this way forever
You put your hands on the tattoo of the sun
Tried to hold on to a moment that is gone
Did you wonder when the bumbling used to care?
Was it ever there?
Was it ever there?
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Idle daylight, wooh
Never caught you in a lie
Not until now, I feel somehow
I've felt the passing of these days gone by

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
What will you do when the feeling that you have is through?
I need to know 'cause I'll never stop hanging on to you
And it's times like this that I dread
When there's everything to say
And nothing left
To be said, to be said
It makes me sad
