lyrics

Ever had a meaningful bone in your body?
Ever had a thought worth the time in your brain?
Well I’ve been treading down the ceiling in search for an answer and all I found was spare change

Ever had the will to get up in the morning
Ever had to be someone else for a change
but the calendar’s been thinning
since then I’ve been blinking
8,070,321 times

Oh, how do I know?

Heaven is a long exhale
and I’m buying time

Ever lost a bitter sense of longing?
Ever left the chance of a lifetime alone?
Well I’ve been kicking it with a whistler with flesh for teeth
For forty days and forty nights
It’s been a treat

But all good things have their end eventually
And the end of it all she turned to me and sang

“Heaven is a long exhale
and I’m buying time”

Ever had a symbolic gesture to live by?
Ever left the chance of a lifetime alone?
Well I’ve been scrubbing through the channels
In search of directions to a tunnel leading to the light

Oh, how do I know?

Heaven is a long exhale
and I’m buying time
