[Lyric] You (Unpinnable Butterflies)

Well I’ve been reading borrowed books
I think I’m losing all my looks
All my socks have holes
I don’t have money for the tolls

I’ve been swallowing yellow spiders
And running through the numbers
My ropes are torn
But I’m hoping to be reborn
‘cause I got you
Yeah, I got you

Baby, I took a chance
And I held up the government bank
’cause I saw loads of children
On the roadside needing clothing

Now I’m on the run with a man named Francis
We’ve been living on mud and avalanches
And the money’s been passed around
But you’re still the best thing that I found
I found you
Yeah, I found you
They say the earth swallows its benefactors
That there are always extra actors
That’s a thing I found so hard to believe
And there’s a room full of sunlight
I’ve been trying to get there since my childhood
I’m not sure but I think we could

And I went down to the dirty river
Trying to find my soul or just a sliver
Charcoal highways and broken cities
Landmines choking up the arteries

Then I got a little mean
I went to the Senate with gasoline
I lit a fire to the filibuster
Since trying to muster lost its luster
When they lost you
Yeah, they lost you

And in the tenements and in the branches
Folks were talking about the ashes
They were sweeping up the scenery
From a century-old reliquary

Maybe I’m out of date
‘cause every year they change the license plates
Yeah, I’m an analog believer
With a digital transmitter
Transmitting you
Transmitting you
Maggie’s got a pain you can’t believe
They slip the medicine up her sleeve
Tell her to be quiet and be calm
And there’s a room full of sunlight
I’ve been trying to get there since my childhood
I’m not sure and the journey’s long

Well I’ve been feeding parking meters
I’ve been stamping all my letters
I’ve been knitting you a sweater
Just so that you will feel better

I’ll bring you all my cups and glasses
I’ll gather up all of my eyelashes
I’ll pick you dandelions and lace
‘cause I’ve got a brand new face
Since I found you
Yeah I found you
Since I found you
