lyrics

MOMENTARY THIEF: Well I never won you over, I just caught you on a good day… We were laughing in the back of an old city taxi, with no mention of my borrowed time, just the glow of the whiskey and the holiday lights. Well there’s no need to name this, because we’re just going to call it a day… so you can run out in the front yard and wave goodbye to the plane... But I remember the corner, the bar and the moment that I came un-tethered and fell, into that scene from my favorite movie, yeah you know the one…. Well, I’ll tell you what, I’ll save you the trouble of running away. Yeah I’ll tell you what, I’ll save you the trouble of running away, yeah I’m already gone out the door and I stole this moment for me, this moment for me…. Well you’re no kind of contrast to all my somber ways, we may as well have a picnic darlin’ out in the driving, pouring rain, but I’ll just carry on, pretend that’s just how I’m inclined. So you better grab a hold of something, steady, steady, ‘cause I’m cutting the line…But I remember your shoulder, your breath and the moment, that I came un-tethered and danced, into that dream, the one where you kiss me and then the camera flashed…Well, I’ll tell you what, I’ll save you the trouble of running away. Yeah I’ll tell you what, I’ll save you the trouble of running away, yeah I’m already gone out the door and I stole this moment for me, this moment for me, this moment for me, indelible and bright….
