lyrics
I heard it once, I think it’s fine
To take a little break from us
Don’t worry star, it’s one short drive
It won’t be that long
You ask how I’m feeling
I seem down again
Burn recycled devotions
Make new plans instead
I heard it once, I think it’s fine
To take a little break from us
Don’t worry star, it’s one short drive
It won’t be that long
We never see the destruction
We jump straight ahead
We hit pause and get younger
Turn around, go back
I heard it once, I think it’s fine
To take a little break from us
Don’t worry star, it’s one short drive
It won’t be that long
I’ve made enough, let’s throw away all our gifts
Sell them off the lawn
I think it’s fine, I’m stripped down dead
Chasing lights up top
Dropping the weight, let’s float down the coast
Catch a wave and see where we go
Helping yourself, go down with the sun
I’ll be there when you’re waking up
I heard it once, I think it’s fine
To take a little break from us
Don’t worry star, it’s one short drive
It won’t be that long
I’ve made enough, let’s throw away all our gifts
Sell them off the lawn
I think it’s fine, I’m stripped down dead
Chasing lights up top
Dropping the weight, let’s float down the coast
Catch a wave and see where we go
Helping yourself, go down with the sun
I’ll be there when you’re waking up
