LYRICS
Don't wake up tonight
Tried hard to be so quiet
Snuffed the candle from every end
Skipped the loud steps but then, couldn't stick the landing again

So we talked for a while
About queues and taxes yet to file
It'll get us through the boring drives
Or when we're walking around, just half of the time

When we're old enough
We'll absorb these subtle lines

Then we'll know enough
About your complex genetic lines

You and I
Once contemplated coastal life
Then we hid it like plan for a crime
Well I think back as you react, to the bites of sandflies

Now we're old enough
To absorb these subtle lines

And we know enough
About your complex genetic lines
Facing the ravages of time

You'll coax me East, I you West
Crisscrossing this grand divide

One day they'll fossilize our bones and harvest us
For pennies on my Dad's mineral rights

For what it's worth there is time to decide
Let's keep crisscrossing this divide

For what it's worth there is time to decide
Let's keep crisscrossing this divide
