lyrics

Sweet valley high poisoned the bookstore
And now we listen at the backdoor
To stadium anthems about your boyfriend
And your boredom

I like to think of you as a carpenter
In your rose bowl graveyard where you dig
Building structures so unsound,
There's no room to walk around
We just say wow

Just a stones throw from love on earth
Flipping channels and screens
Just a stones throw from love on earth
Between the brown and green
The sky blue

The ol’ college town on a Saturday night
Looks like a bumble bee drowning in a Bud Light
The New Year’s day parade
Blocked the only road that you felt safe on

I like to yell out at the dark
And write a thousand tweets with no remarks
I watch through a million eyes as you try and try
To scream

Just a stones throw from love on earth
Flipping channels and screens
Just a stones throw from love on earth
Between the brown and green
The sky blue

The colonized mind you try to escape
Clings like a newborn babe
Plugged your laptop into a wall at the church
And it was stolen

Now the only thing left to sign on
Is your cosmic typewriter
And you hit the keys awake and asleep
Late at night and early in the morning

Just a stones throw from love on earth
Flipping channels and screens
Just a stones throw from love on earth
Between the brown and green
The sky blue
