lyrics

(further)

The light comes up out here like something that's been decided
Not slowly, all at once, like a switch in another room
And nobody says the word that means the night's divided
And we sit here in the almost and we let it be the gloom

You're holding something cold you'll never drink
And I'm watching you not drink it, which is worse

Everything is further out here than it looks
Including you, including me, including getting home
I have read this night the way you read the ends of books
Knowing what it's going to say and reading on alone

In the city we are careful and we say the careful things
Out here we're only tired, and the tired never sings

Everything is further out here than it looks
Including you, including me, including getting home
I have read this night the way you read the ends of books
Knowing what it's going to say and reading on alone

(reading on alone)
