Sodium

We’ve been living here

A thousand midnights

Under street lights

Now the sodium’s in our bones

 

We began to dance

To every measure

Under pressure

Of dancing all alone

 

[chorus]

Just wait a minute then it’s gone

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Just wait a minute now you’re gone

And I’m still standing here the same

 

They dug us up

From under the snow

With no place to go

Now the winter’s in our bones

 

We’re caught in a trance

And take the old road

With no new codes

Just the patience of the stones

 

[chorus]

 

There she is

With a rose in her teeth

And nothing underneath

And through her tears she feels strange

 

And I

I take things too far

When I say that all that we are

Is what leads us to change

It’s what leads us to change
