lyrics

It had occurred to me that some might never see the feeling that homesickness brings. We're all in this together, at least, that's what the captain used to sing. Everywhere I go as a kid in Madrid, kicking stones down the street, imaging the day we meet for coffee in Huesca. I just can't go back to selling shoelaces on East Hastings Street. I'd swear its been decades but its only been months. I heard the gunshot and I hated it it. I saw the pub brawl and I looked away. I felt a woman scream next door and shivered and thought, "it's no wonder people drop bombs on each other. No, it's not."

Empty and peeling and starting again
Building on feelings buried for months on end
I can't believe the future isn't what they said
I can't believe the future isn't what you said

One day we'll fly kites, but not for war
You can let my line out, I've no more slack
We can catch him
He's coming back

Where are you going? Why are you leaving?
The thought of you not being in city limits is unnerving
Insomnia's a race to fall asleep last
You can't beat me, come on, do your worst

One day we'll fly kites, but not for war
You can let my line out, I've no more slack
We can catch him
He's coming back
