"Counter Moves" lyrics

Into the street of dreams, sprinkler mist
The morning kissed the golden garden
The world is big, it twists my nerves
That's what I tell the silver elm like it hears my words

Vanity mirror, a circled date
She curls her hair, a gem to wear, a spell to ruin
And watch the time, the electric kind
Like a moth, are wings are formed drenched in the fluid

If you sleep before I do
Light the path that I can follow through
So make a copy, build a you
Then send them up when our two lips are blue

Now there's fire on the mountain
Leaping off the mountainside
Chlorine in the water, and gravel in the baby's cry
One hand's turning pages, the other's writing little lies

Out into the wild
All the stones you hope to step in single file
But oh the odds, dark frozen gods
And a figure eight on an endless plain is going to take awhile

If you wake before I do
Shake the feeling that you're someone new
Cause by the time the dark creeps through
It all wears off and you can see the truth

That now there's fire on the mountain
They're leaping off the mountainside
Chlorine's in the water, and rasp in the baby's cry
And a wave like a monster, and a flash in the sky
But I got you honey, I'm holding you now
Please don't close me out
