lyrics

Spent summer nights with the radio dial
A window fan and sunburned pine
I was so sure that there was more than this
Losing sleep and gathering days
I'm gathering days

What have we become?
Like blisters in the sun
On and on I carry the weight I've outgrown
Anchoring me back home
But in the depths of August I'll know

She said, "Love, I think I've had enough"
A winter's drought of words to say
I've been chasing ghosts
And you're the settled dust
We've gotten good at gathering days
We're gathering days

And it's just too late to drive
And we're all just flowers on a power line
