Escape Velocity – And I don’t know how I / got so low / but I’m glad I’m not alone / here at the bottom, / mm-hmm. // Every mile from this town that I ever walked or drove / was a mile away from you. / And every mile toward this town that I ever walked or drove / was a mile back to you. / Even when you’re gone, / still stumbling home / to our empty home. // And I don’t know how I / ended up right where I began / with nothing but this old fox’s tail / and these stray dog’s black eyes / and this mouth full of feathers / and these shoes welling up with blood / and these whale bones / and these creaking floorboards / and this grave dust / and the scars of the open road and you. / The ghost of you. / The ghost of you. // The ghost of you.
