Scratch
We knew a way to get there
That we took to ease our stature
There we stared out like believers
Waiting for the rapture
But Heaven never answered
Just the sound of something fractured
A day that had no master
You asked “Does anything come after?”
But the bridges that I crossed
Caught fire, I can’t go back
The grip I’d fought for lost it’s touch
That itch I had
Was the feeling I’d been missing
I just had to scratch
Can’t we just start from scratch?
I’d watch it all collapse
Just to scratch with you
Maybe rapture’s just a rumor
And Heaven is the suture
The two hands of the future
Meet and make it truer
Lonesome is a long road
That doesn’t know where it goes
But home soon is a song, oh
I sign with my eyes closed
But the bridges that I crossed
Caught fire, I can’t go back
The grip I’d fought for lost it’s touch
That itch I had
Was the feeling I’d been missing
I just had to scratch
Can’t we just start from scratch?
I’d watch it all collapse
Just to scratch with you
