Waiting to Converge

from A Long Dash (Followed by Ten Seconds of Silence) by Jake and the Leprechauns

lyrics

The story had to begin somewhere
A random bar, some party
But where would we be
If I hadn’t been there?

That night it seemed
No walls could contain our dreams
Forgetting how small we were
Pretending distances didn’t matter

Buses, ambulances will shake this town
Dogs will bark without a sound
Such an obvious coincidence
Yet suddenly everything makes sense

But what of everything that came before?
The waiting and hoping for more
Untethered, the months will align
Quickly this becomes a sign

Every climb contains its fall
This certainty rattling my bones
Now I guess I could call
But this life won’t fit into phones

What’s the feel of water
Without the smell of the sea?
We’re two ships lost in the harbor
And things won’t change, Marie
