So we'll crawl across our options<br />
Sneaking peeks at nights out drinking<br />
With our hopes up in the stars<br />
I've got three bucks and so much more to start on<br />
<br />
A novel of experience<br />
Way up where we can feel again<br />
And I hope you make me real again<br />
'Cause Jesus Christ I need to breathe again<br />
<br />
And you're goddamn right<br />
I've got a little more to prove tonight<br />
To everything and everyone<br />
Atlantic air's done something to my lungs<br />
<br />
Well, we're virgins with a heartbeat<br />
Searching for a lasting vein of inspiration<br />
From this town who'd have thought<br />
That white blood cells had drowned it out<br />
<br />
A novel of experience<br />
Way up where we can feel again<br />
And I hope you make me real again<br />
'Cause Jesus Christ I need to breathe again<br />
<br />
And you're goddamn right<br />
I've got a little more to prove tonight<br />
To everything and everyone<br />
Atlantic air's done something to my<br />
<br />
Lungs have been collapsing<br />
Under weight of change and traveling<br />
God, I'm hitting bottom now<br />
These words are the only hope<br />
I have to be dragged out here now<br />
Someone please pull me out<br />
<br />
Well, I'm aware of what I've come from<br />
When pen hits paper like electric<br />
I'd illuminate the sky<br />
And make you stare with open eyes<br />
<br />
And you're goddamn right<br />
I've got a little more to prove tonight<br />
To everything and everyone<br />
Atlantic air's done something to my<br />
<br />
Lungs have been collapsing<br />
Under weight of change and traveling<br />
God, I'm hitting bottom now<br />
These words are the only hope<br />
I have to be dragged out
