The Hungry Years lyrics

Into the night another life Twisted and torn beneath the ties That bind us between the start and end You empty your eyes, benign, and then... You squeeze me like a comfort blanket That keeps you warm But will hold you back Days sip the arching of the dunes Vague lines between the bits you knew A California life without the sun The callow call from each and every home My fear of flying keeps me grounded So save your laughter For something sacred But please don't forget about the past The hungry years we hid beneath the sand And the salt on the lips of the sea The crack in the smile of the chipped summer teeth From pitching softly in awkward places We finally find that our luck is changing We'll all get somewhere somehow We'll all get somewhere somehow And when it comes it comes from something worthwhile A pain-eraser born out of doubt
