homebody - nightjars lyrics

Loading...

marco polo, swimming blind
i clutch the wall, i toe the line
the shallow end has made me numb

our mothers watch from waterside
i call and brace for your reply
and someone whispers, “here they come”

a cry as my hand finds your arm
but i’ve shut my eyes, i’ll do no harm
and no one can break the rules we’ve bent

much later, in a moving car
all openmouthed, i’ll taste the dark around me
you can’t go home again

marco polo, where you been?
i trace the roadmaps up again
oh, central valley, this time i’m too old

to throw a tantrum like a bride’s bouquet
into a crowd, but that’s okay
i’ll hide it a place only i know

the times i wished that i was grown
i really wanted to be alone in silence
but to still feel loved
like maybe in the other room
could be someone with an i love you
if i needed it, if i needed
love, love
love, if i needed love
like i needed love, love
love, if i needed love

is this insult? is it injury?
is it something else entirely?
feels different when i am on my own

this stasis*laced catastrophe
i never knew that i could be so homesick
without ever leaving home

and i’m daniel in the lion’s den
when will my pride come back again?
homebody, you’ll have to start anew

and then alone in an unfamiliar room
i’ll whisper out an i love you
and everyone will know who i’m talking to

cuz those times i wished that i was grown
i really wanted to be alone in silence
but to still feel loved
like maybe in the other room
could be someone with an i love you
if i needed it, if i needed
love, love
love, if i needed love
and i needed love, love
love, and i needed –
