let down your guard / a quick drive - cavil at rest lyrics

part 1: let down your guard

i woke not of my own accord
so in an honest tongue i told them
of my dream, ooh
my candid speech without regard
for social places, i’m still on the blankets
with my eyes still closed
i said, i said no
i’ll have to fix this cold water
it drips from the faucet to my feet
though the handle
is turned all the way
they, they let me
keep talkin’
awake
but i’m thinking

hey, woo

and now there’s no deciding which side
you and i
are gonna air on
there’s no deciding which side to air on
there’s no deciding which side to air on
there’s no deciding which side to air on
i’ve been gone, with my guard down
all my defences, electric fences
and little soldiers and the ready hallways
at least they’re supposed to be
they are the strategically placed chess pieces
positioned at the ends of my fingers to the inside my head
to the tip of my tongue
and the way i cut my hair
lookin’ back now
i can’t help but think that i’ve really been captive
and only now have i been free

i see dark rooms
i see dark clouds i say
like two huge sheep with black wool
that lay atop an all*night diner

and inside, two teenage people wonder
(there’s no deciding which side to air on)
if they make as much money as their fathers
or if that even matters
i think one of them is me
(there’s no deciding which side to air on)
(there’s no deciding which side to air on)
i think one of them is me
(i finally sat up, and realised what i had to do)
what do you think?
(and that i’m good at playing down a joke)
the blood rushed to my cheeks
and wednesday i had a good night

part 2: a quick drive

[verse]
and when i’m by myself, alone
maybe driving home in the late night, early morning
sometimes i find myself musing
about the beauty of the valley lights
against the darkened hillsides
and then i’ll catch myself
and think they’d say, if they saw me now
well they can’t
they can’t see me now

[outro]
ooh
ooh
ooh
ooh
