"Nightjar" lyrics

"Nightjar"

Quiet now on the empty street
I got this phantom that follows me
A little boy with a broken arm
A ladybug flew in my eye
It hurt like hell but I didn't cry
I'm gonna meet you where the ocean meets the sky

Nightjar
I been watchin
Just to see if
You'll keep singing
Your song
Filled with sadness
Agonizing
But so sweet somehow

I'm a wreck
No surprise
I've gotta see
You tonight
Bug eater
Psychopomp
I wanna go
Sailin on

Nightjar
Is it selfish
That I miss you
One eleven
In the morning
Hear you singing
That familiar
Old melody
In my head

Quiet now on the empty street
I got this phantom that follows me
A little boy with a broken arm

I'd take your hand but I don't know how
All your parts are shadows now
You're gonna be gone soon
And there's no cure for that

A ladybug flew in my eye
It hurt like hell but I didn't cry
I'm gonna meet you where the ocean meets the sky
