If I ask you a question
Will you answer so?
To show those words could rise inside your starry coat
If I ask you a question
Will you already know?
I see her in your eyes, that poem in your throat

Do you feel like you’re dreaming?
Do you feel as if you’ll fall?
Do mountains lose their meaning when they seem this small?
Can you keep me a secret?
Don’t answer that, I know
Out here your vessel lies transparent to your soul

This freeway runs so high
Its end meets eye to eye
Point a claw at the terminus
And watch the stars sail by

The cars flow back and forth
A light path to the north
Red and white leviathan
Her scales a glistening shore

The big wheel in the sky
He arcs o’er miles and miles
It’s getting hard to breathe
So take my paw and dive
We can see the whole town from up here
Feel the wind sail past our ears
The whistling noise it makes
So frigid and so fierce

Hold onto yourself now
Don’t let your body go
It slips so easily through starlight’s undertow
Hold close to the wind now
Those shivers in your spine
They bind like wires to the world that waits outside

Do you feel like you’re changing?
Your body knows its shape
That timbre rings across your skin, around your nape
Can you hear the birdsong?
Can you smell the distant rain?
Look inside yourself, you’ll see you’re still the same

This freeway runs so high
Its end meets eye to eye
Point a claw at the terminus
And watch the stars sail by

The cars flow back and forth
A light path to the north
Red and white leviathan
Her scales a glistening shore
The big wheel in the sky
He arcs o’er miles and miles
It’s getting hard to breathe
So take my paw and dive

We can see the whole town from up here
Feel the wind sail past our ears
The whistling noise it makes
So frigid and so fierce

Can I ask you a question?
I promise I’ll be brief
I have a feeling you have somewhere else to be
Does it feel a bit hazy?
Will you be waking soon?
Will you remember me, when you’re back in your room?

This freeway runs so high
Its end meets eye to eye
Point a claw at the terminus
And watch the stars sail by

The cars flow back and forth
A light path to the north
Red and white leviathan
Her scales a glistening shore
The big wheel in the sky
He arcs o’er miles and miles
It’s getting hard to breathe
So take my paw and dive

We can see the whole town from up here
Feel the wind sail past our ears
The whistling noise it makes
So frigid and so fierce
