《By The Time You Get This Message...(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] By The Time You Get This Message... - Flobots

[00:00:20] By the time you get this message

[00:00:29] I will be behind the wheel

[00:00:31] Watchin' dotted yellow hexagrams

[00:00:33] Stretch into the dark

[00:00:34] Left hand surfin' on iced tinged winds

[00:00:37] Chewin' up a cardboard box

[00:00:39] Singin' at lung top one stop

[00:00:43] Left 'til I meet you in the concourse

[00:00:45] St Louie encore do we have a shot

[00:00:47] Caught no dwellin' on the thought

[00:00:51] What the hell we haven't got

[00:00:53] So I'm headed from the dot to the spot

[00:00:55] Where your plane touches down

[00:00:57] For a six hour layover

[00:00:58] Don't say a word I found it on the map

[00:01:01] Calculated it just a half a day to get from

[00:01:04] Where you're not to where you will be

[00:01:05] My hair is filthy I'm drinkin' coffee

[00:01:08] I can barely feel the trace

[00:01:10] From the only time you kissed me on the face

[00:01:13] Question mark space

[00:01:14] I know you're with me underneath the star-scape

[00:01:17] Treadmill pick up our pace

[00:01:20] Head-start on a jet in a car chase

[00:01:23] Is this the part where my heart breaks

[00:01:26] One asleep one awake back to back

[00:01:28] 'Cause you wouldn't turn towards me

[00:01:30] Had me battlin' fractals keeping track of all the chords

[00:01:32] We created sound clash of swords back and forth

[00:01:35] Couldn't poke through the sash

[00:01:38] Slash through the plasterboard

[00:01:39] You packing your passport me on a crash course

[00:01:42] To show you that I have the passion that you asked for

[00:01:46] Floorin' the gas tryin' a fast forward

[00:01:48] Fifteen months I'll see you once the sun shines through

[00:01:50] The glass above the dashboard

[00:01:52] The stars I see aren't even there

[00:01:54] It's only light in the air

[00:01:58] (By the time you get this message)

[00:02:02] The stars I see aren't even there

[00:02:09] (By the time you get this message)

[00:02:12] It's only light in the air

[00:02:15] By the time you get this message I'll be

[00:02:20] Either on my second flight or already

[00:02:22] All the way to my destination

[00:02:24] Ridiculous that I could honestly expect you

[00:02:27] Waitin' at the gate when I arrive

[00:02:29] A sixteen hour drive

[00:02:30] I've been feeling so silly

[00:02:32] Goin' on now several months

[00:02:35] As our obsession runs together

[00:02:37] And whoever comes to have you I'll be jealous of

[00:02:40] And when above all else

[00:02:41] You put her I'll know what it was

[00:02:43] To feel so needed

[00:02:44] Sorta wish that I was more of a romantic

[00:02:46] And could give you back the utmost

[00:02:47] But I've never seen it up close

[00:02:49] From everything that I can tell

[00:02:51] There are several possibilities

[00:02:52] Maybe we're in love really

[00:02:54] Maybe it's too early to really see

[00:02:57] Maybe we're just searching for something

[00:03:00] To hold onto amidst confusion and fragility

[00:03:03] Maybe we've lost all sensibility

[00:03:05] Will it become our 'Splendor In The Grass'

[00:03:07] When the facts have asserted themselves

[00:03:10] And the memories pass into poetry and words that we tell

[00:03:11] What only then can we be sure that we felt

[00:03:15] Guess I prefer to be unhappy

[00:03:18] Or weren't you looking at me

[00:03:19] When my back became a wall

[00:03:21] Searched for your reflection

[00:03:22] Saw exactly what you saw

[00:03:24] Two kinds of different skin

[00:03:26] Two minds exist within

[00:03:27] Trying to just transcend all space and time

[00:03:29] And lift their chin

[00:03:30] And find some sense of purpose some sense of hope

[00:03:33] Press my cheek against the window surface

[00:03:36] We've been afloat

[00:03:36] But now I'm nervous has this been a joke

[00:03:39] We're landin' and it's time to close the envelope

[00:03:43] Maybe I'll see you at the finish line

[00:03:57] The stars I see aren't even there

[00:03:58] It's only light in the air

[00:04:00] (By the time you get this message)

[00:04:01] The stars I see aren't even there

[00:04:03] It's only light in the air

[00:04:09] (By the time you get this message)

[00:04:10] (By the time you get this message)

[00:04:12] The stars I see aren't even there

[00:04:27] It's only light in the air

[00:04:29] By the time you get this message

[00:04:38] By the time you get this message

[00:04:43] By the time you get this message

[00:04:45] By the time you get this message

[00:04:50] The stars I see aren't even there

[00:05:32] Light in the air
