The Telescope - Her Space Holiday

Rainy days, it’s the end of summer

I’m locking myself inside of my room

I pressed my eye to that telescope

I thought what I saw was you

But you were just steam coming off of the road

The same stretch that runs right by home

It will take you to my front door

And you’ll say hey babe.

Are you ready for the world?

We won’t look back

So we walked until our feet were bloody

And we spoke until our ears grew warm

You felt in your heart a certain safety

With all your goodbyes you were finally adored

But I was just steam coming off of the road

The same stretch that plowed right through your home

I pinned a note to your front door

It read hey babe

Are you ready, ready for the war?

I killed my rage and I turned around

I saw you sitting side of my house

With my books and your tears and your glowing hope

Looking at me through that old telescope

Because we’re just a dream

Pumping through broken hearts

We’re ripped at the seams and were covered in scars

But we will follow that map just like we planned

And we will put down that «x"wherever you and I land

We won’t look back
