lyrics

take me somewhere nice
buy me something cheap
open up my eyes
to what's in front of me

take me somewhere warm
take me to the core
let me build a nest
behind your corneas

pave my winding way
march in my parade
lend me half the nerve
that you permeate

stand here by my side now
i know i'll be alright now
how have i survived
such a still, still life

behind your corneas
how i would get caught up
behind your corneas
yesterday is a bust

tomorrow's a firefly
in a missouri sky
you are a mason jar
and i don't know any better

take me somewhere nice
quiet and discreet
hold your proverbial glass
up to the door of me

let there be no words
for what you've seen and heard
and should your tongue run free
let it decree

"behind your corneas
how i would get caught up
behind your corneas
yesterday is a bust

tomorrow's a firefly
in a minnesota sky
you are a mason jar
and i don't know any better
i don't know a damn thing either"

behind your corneas
behind your corneas

behind your corneas
hurrying fast asleep
dreaming i might wake up
and be able to see me
