Life in neutral
A spinning boxfan in the corner of the room
Twin bed, wasting time in your head
Hand in hand pinned down in the sand
My limbs die quiet around your arm
With the rise and fall of your chest

It's alternative rock
Bound by gravitational force
Mountains of porphyritic texture
Who's fine and who's coarse
You're so much bigger than me
Let's get out and get something to eat

I want to be the air in the pull of your cigarette
I want to wake up to a gun against my head
Hair pulled in every direction
Kiss me as if every moment will be an emergency
Feel the springs break beneath my back

My home is you, back on the moon, snowing in June
I'll keep a secret and leave it with you if that's cool

Life in neutral
Truck with the single seat
A central vanishing point on the horizon
And the way it feels when you put me on wheels
True happiness out the speakers
Windows down at an ear splitting 90 mph, cloudy and warm
It's you and I and what we could've been doing this entire time
The power of a cheap cassette audio jack
I sketch the sky and add the drum track
I am the sleeveless shirt wrapped around your chest
Clinging to life like a plastic bag in the wind
You are the gas to the engine of my mind
Twin guitars panned left and right
I need you to drive because it doesn't feel right
Standing still anywhere
Tank half empty or tank half full
I don't care because

It's alternative rock
Blue and red
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Balthier and Fran
Jimmy and Kim
Frodo and Sam
Sam and Max
Eusebius and Florestan
Just not so... Germanic

Every rock in the desert radiates a quiet style
Of sonic air on bright blue skies
And it's the only thing that fulfills this life
And it might really suck
Now that you have to eat and I have to feed you
But eating bad ramen can be fun too
I'll just drink a whole case of you whenever I feel blue

Nothing attainable but the experience of an attempt
And an attempt was made
The journey, not the destination
The process, not the goal
Never stop moving, everything I need is right here with me
I want to trade thoughts and parts and Pokémon cards
Find shit in the desert to sell for parts
I feel young and I know I'll only be young once
A temporary thing, our clothesline on the beach
But I always keep two reviver seeds on me
Me and my pal in a tortoise shell
How fast can we go

I want it all to be true
And mine and plain and tight and on time
Bear with me I'm scared
I'm only learning to drive
But I want it I want it I want it
I got nothing to lose
I don't want to be human
I want to be honest
I want to be present with you

You got that turn of the century general motor smile
I'd like to stay by your side for a while
I need a man a man a man a man a
A blue and red all my own
Me and Armie all day long

You know you make way more progress on an empty road
Tired of matching the speed of the car in front of me
And every time I drive I remember the way you made me feel
Not just less alone but fully alive
You can stand in the sea with your back to me
I'll fall asleep in the cab as the sun shines down
Quietly hoping we'll never be found
