Unguided
The New Pornographers
In every story, every secret told
You are not the first to wake up
To learn your lines before you have the part
You woke up early and you walk up torn
You the temporary boarder
The heat wave humming in the house of cards
You spun chapter into rapture there
Yeah, you were as brave as traffic
You chased the spotlight into her arms
And you forgot that you could file the knot
That you were still the person sleeping
The heat wave humming in the house of cards
A play for the girl, a cross for a hook
Sinking into the green sea wonder
Under the sea, walking the floor
Over the waves, the wheeling thunder
Something's unguided in the sky tonight
There is something unguided in the sky
You wrote yourself into a corner safe
Easy to defend your borders
A fallen saint into a whispered time
Killing time because I have to, why?
Because it isn't mine, remember?
Killing time because it wasn't mine
You're earning your stripes, you're counting the stars
You're winding your barely working watch
You're lucky to be on the land like you are
Lucky you've already become
There is something unguided in the sky tonight
There is something unguided in the sky
And why wait for the weakened state
To lie next to the weaker sex?
And why wait for the weakened state
To lie next to the weaker sex?
You're earning your stripes, you're counting the stars
You're winding your barely working watch
You're lucky to be on the land like you are
Lucky you've already become
There is something unguided in the sky tonight
There is something unguided in the sky
There is something unguided in the sky tonight
There is something unguided in the sky
