Asphalt Meadows - Acoustic

Your kiss was a lonely prayer
 When you slipped it into my mouth
 I closed my eyes and held it in
 And then I exhaled it out
 The glow of the downtown lights
 Casting shadows across your face
 As if all the buildings knew
 I could only know half of you
 And I was a snake under your flowers
 I just wanted to disappear
 Into the understory of your beauty
 Never to reappear
 But there's a name writ on your cast
 Above the bruised and broken bones
 It tells everybody that you meet
 To whom the damage is owed
 Wе rode a wave of white noisе
 Beneath the city sleeping
 I saw the train doors closing
 I felt your sorrow deepen
 Here in the asphalt meadows
 There's only one thing that grows
 Finding the light through the concrete
 Getting trampled under our feet
 
 You said all your bridges and roads
 They all lead to an airport
 Planes drifting off into the sky
 Always depart, but never seem to arrive
 And there in the early hour
 Lying naked in your unmade bed
 I was thinking of how to tell you
 What my ticket read
 Your kiss was a lonely prayer
 A single candle, slowly burning down
 But the light, your light was beautiful
 Within its here and now
 We rode a wave of white noise
 Beneath the city sleeping
 I saw the train doors closing
 I felt your sorrow deepen
 Here in the asphalt meadows
 There's only one thing that grows
 Finding the light through the concrete
 Getting trampled under our feet
 We rode a wave of white noise
 Beneath the city sleeping
 I saw the train doors closing
 I felt your sorrow deepen
 Here in the asphalt meadows
 There's only one thing that grows
 Finding the light through the concrete
 Getting trampled under our feet
 Getting trampled under our feet
 Getting trampled under our feet
 Getting trampled under our feet
