"Memphis, Texas" lyrics

"Memphis, Texas"

Two flames, a fire
Sudden motion
Utter devotion to right now
Two flames expire
One has frozen
The other is broken and kicked around

An inaccessible primer
There you go
An imperceptible cipher
Now you know
I'm out of my head
Over, through
I'm out of my head
Over you

Coming out of the fulcrum
Where you going?
Not quite sure of the reason
So I'll pass go
Unsaid, uncertain, and liable
Simple survival
All on, all on a summer's day

And what was once so appealing
Had to go
You walk away on the ceiling
Nice and slow
And since you seem unaware of where secrets go
And what you don't understand
The feeling knows

I'm going out of my head
All the way
All the way
No season
Going out of my head
All the way
All the way
No reason

Going out of my head
The sleet won't snow
And since you seem unaware
The feeling grows
And on the way to the scenery
The secret knows
We are the way we were
