lyrics

Lyrics:

I'm cooked over easy
my chest up toward the sky.
A crack in the ceiling,
blue wind, traffic lights

(and the) patterns pull me into sleep
I'm on low heat, tumble, circling
It's just another wave that you can't see

(but) I keep looking down, I'm soaking
wet, my shirt is drenched,
that's it
I'm through

with feeling like I've got a
heart that won't stop burning up, but
it keeps taking on fights it never thought
it would be put through
(and)
I keep leading these plots
I thought I'd never lead
a 1950's sci-fi B-movie
weird creatures and things out of the deep
creep up behind me

No! Yet those times of gold are growing
Old! (and) I wasn't
20 when
I said those things back then
but I'm still the only one I've ever been

I got caught up looking at lights
a soft beam to reach out through the night (YEAH!)
(but even when I)
wasn't thinking my
heart kept beating on

And when I walked out the kitchen door
the back of the building was cool and dark
and I felt the same way the night before
it's like I'm locked in motion
every moment

No! Yet those times of gold are growing
Old! (and) I wasn't
20 when
I said those things back then
am I still the only one I've ever been?

If not, will I ever be again?
If not now, when?

Cause I keep growing old
and I'm growing old

and I know
it was special then but now it's nothing
stale smoke
I breath it
in and out then mutter something
Wait! No!
That's not the
way I was, I'm veering off
but it won't stop and
I keep growing
I keep growing
I
Keep
Growing
