What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
High in the Sandias Mountains,
2
the world like the face of Mars.
3
Craters and canyons and holy matrimony
4
beneath a ceiling of stars.
5
And then the rooftop wraps around
6
because the sky is just the ground
7
and nothing falls between the cracks.
8
It makes me laugh to think this worried me back there;
9
I see it now, the moving clouds, the heavy air.
10
But this is no painter who slouches before you,
11
my sketches are simple and crude.
12
Would one with such telling hands be found in such a pose?
13
The facts I know do not necessitate a truth.
14
Fly down that American highway,
15
the wind like a wrecking ball.
16
Suddenly, your planet feels small
17
and those tall tales on their false scales
18
mean nothing at all.
19
But you recited them so well,
20
the way the syntax rose and fell
21
and held together the pieces
22
of that tattered yarn you wear today.
23
I like the way it brings out the anguish in your eyes.
24
It matches mine in such a way
25
it's a sick mistake to label it divine.
26
There's someone out there who
27
would kill to hold you now.
28
You're not alone unless you have your doubts.
29
You'll never be alone unless you have your doubts.(x2)
30
We're on a sinking boat.
31
We're living just to get out alive
32
but we should be singing with the sun in our eyes.
33
You'll never be alone unless you have your doubts.(x3)
34
We're on a sinking boat.
35
We're living just to get out alive
36
but we should be singing with the sun in our eyes.
