Lyrics The Thing Is - Christian Kjellvander

The Thing Is

Driving a soft window
Down a coastal road
Like a windless moan
And the heaven is
Half awake
Half asleep
With deaths architecture
And Madalyn O’Hair
His final hours on earth
On my mind
And the last i heard you had to leave
Had to get away from the scene
Step out on the road
Dreamin' on a little dream
We get lighter for every day
'Til we finally drift away
Where we decide to spread our weight
Is all that really matters
The thing is…
The thing is
there is toxic down here
Like the trees i reach for good air
The thing is
It don’t matter what you bring
This is why we sing
The thing is…
I’ve been trying hard
The thing is…
To forget
The last i heard you had to leave
Someone called it a scene
You stepped down out on the road
Had to dream a little dream
And the world came tumbling down
As they see you coming 'round
And there’s always something to pay
Is there any other way
And the road was like gin to me
Hand to mouth perpetually
'Cause if you stay too long
You will see
The blind stitches of misery
And it is as close as we’d ever get
Thing is I am still trying to forget
Heading straight for the blue moon
Nothing can ever be too late or too soon
My brothers and I and a dear dear friend
Left the country with ashes for the wind
After twelve years in the attic
Plus two days straight driving
The thing is…
This is it
The thing is…
This is it
You’re bad but your children will be worse
My oh my
We’re in Spain
Greeted by biblical rain
And this is it
The smuggled remains
Of half the blood in my veins
And we drove on through the night
steer on the right
And there are two kinds of cruel I believe
One along the see
And the other one with a wave
Real life through every day
Come on now
Spread the love
'Til we finally
Drift away
