lyrics

Single Cells © Brian Straub 7/30/12 & 7/31/12

Verse 1

There’s another plane out my plane window
Going in the other direction
I did everything I knew to know
But I never caught the same infection

Verse 2
Months morphed into years and my heart stalled
The desert grew and it grew
I don’t think I’d even know if love ever called
My fog was thick as stew

Chorus

And how could we have known
Oh we were never even fully grown
Drifting through our own days
Singles cells in an amoeba maze
There was nothing better we could have done

Verse 3
All along we were growing all alone
Stumbling farther away
Through no fault of yours or even my own
We hit that tear-stained fateful day

Verse 4
There another plane far way out my plane window
Such a sight I’ve never seen
You taught me things I never would know
And you helped me bring me back to me

Ch X2

This is a home recording. Throwing my time and energy into making this record was an emotional breakthrough for me at a low point in my life, giving me drive and purpose. Braintwang
