PREP - Futures Lyrics

Wind on the cool grey water
Voices way back on the lawn
Need to change that filter
Where do those leaves blow in from?
Clothes in a pile by the pool house
Watch in a glass by your shoes
Like I'm swimming in seltzer
Diving into the blue

You never mentioned leaving
I've just been up there speaking with your boy
A little place near Morro
Staring at the sea

While I'm still trying to stop your shadow slipping down the hallway
Like a train that I can't catch
Left me sitting here the same as always
I always think too much
Waiting to run till the rain comes down
You never get home if you don't strike out
I've loved you like you'll never know
Where do all those futures go?

As long as this snow keeps falling
I'm in no rush to get back
Sit and find my own tempo
Cause this city never wakes up
Trying to keep warm in this raincoat
A couple of books in my bag
Threw a coin in the fountain
I'm still listening out for the splash

I never saw you leaving
But I know you'll have some good years with your boy
Up on your own near Morro
Staring at the sea
