By The Time You Get This Message... - Flobots[00:00:00]

By the time you get this message[00:00:20]

I will be behind the wheel[00:00:29]

Watchin' dotted yellow hexagrams[00:00:31]

Stretch into the dark[00:00:33]

Left hand surfin' on iced tinged winds[00:00:34]

Chewin' up a cardboard box[00:00:37]

Singin' at lung top one stop[00:00:39]

Left 'til I meet you in the concourse[00:00:43]

St Louie encore do we have a shot [00:00:45]

Caught no dwellin' on the thought[00:00:47]

What the hell we haven't got[00:00:51]

So I'm headed from the dot to the spot[00:00:53]

Where your plane touches down[00:00:55]

For a six hour layover[00:00:57]

Don't say a word I found it on the map[00:00:58]

Calculated it just a half a day to get from[00:01:01]

Where you're not to where you will be[00:01:04]

My hair is filthy I'm drinkin' coffee[00:01:05]

I can barely feel the trace[00:01:08]

From the only time you kissed me on the face[00:01:10]

Question mark space[00:01:13]

I know you're with me underneath the star-scape[00:01:14]

Treadmill pick up our pace[00:01:17]

Head-start on a jet in a car chase[00:01:20]

Is this the part where my heart breaks [00:01:23]

One asleep one awake back to back[00:01:26]

'Cause you wouldn't turn towards me[00:01:28]

Had me battlin' fractals keeping track of all the chords[00:01:30]

We created sound clash of swords back and forth[00:01:32]

Couldn't poke through the sash[00:01:35]

Slash through the plasterboard[00:01:38]

You packing your passport me on a crash course[00:01:39]

To show you that I have the passion that you asked for[00:01:42]

Floorin' the gas tryin' a fast forward[00:01:46]

Fifteen months I'll see you once the sun shines through[00:01:48]

The glass above the dashboard[00:01:50]

The stars I see aren't even there[00:01:52]

It's only light in the air[00:01:54]

(By the time you get this message)[00:01:58]

The stars I see aren't even there[00:02:02]

(By the time you get this message)[00:02:09]

It's only light in the air[00:02:12]

By the time you get this message I'll be[00:02:15]

Either on my second flight or already[00:02:20]

All the way to my destination[00:02:22]

Ridiculous that I could honestly expect you[00:02:24]

Waitin' at the gate when I arrive[00:02:27]

A sixteen hour drive[00:02:29]

I've been feeling so silly[00:02:30]

Goin' on now several months[00:02:32]

As our obsession runs together[00:02:35]

And whoever comes to have you I'll be jealous of[00:02:37]

And when above all else[00:02:40]

You put her I'll know what it was[00:02:41]

To feel so needed[00:02:43]

Sorta wish that I was more of a romantic[00:02:44]

And could give you back the utmost[00:02:46]

But I've never seen it up close[00:02:47]

From everything that I can tell[00:02:49]

There are several possibilities[00:02:51]

Maybe we're in love really[00:02:52]

Maybe it's too early to really see[00:02:54]

Maybe we're just searching for something[00:02:57]

To hold onto amidst confusion and fragility[00:03:00]

Maybe we've lost all sensibility[00:03:03]

Will it become our 'Splendor In The Grass' [00:03:05]

When the facts have asserted themselves[00:03:07]

And the memories pass into poetry and words that we tell[00:03:10]

What only then can we be sure that we felt[00:03:11]

Guess I prefer to be unhappy[00:03:15]

Or weren't you looking at me[00:03:18]

When my back became a wall [00:03:19]

Searched for your reflection[00:03:21]

Saw exactly what you saw[00:03:22]

Two kinds of different skin[00:03:24]

Two minds exist within[00:03:26]

Trying to just transcend all space and time[00:03:27]

And lift their chin[00:03:29]

And find some sense of purpose some sense of hope[00:03:30]

Press my cheek against the window surface[00:03:33]

We've been afloat[00:03:36]

But now I'm nervous has this been a joke [00:03:36]

We're landin' and it's time to close the envelope[00:03:39]

Maybe I'll see you at the finish line[00:03:43]

The stars I see aren't even there[00:03:57]

It's only light in the air[00:03:58]

(By the time you get this message)[00:04:00]

The stars I see aren't even there[00:04:01]

It's only light in the air[00:04:03]

(By the time you get this message)[00:04:09]

(By the time you get this message)[00:04:10]

The stars I see aren't even there[00:04:12]

It's only light in the air[00:04:27]

By the time you get this message[00:04:29]

By the time you get this message[00:04:38]

By the time you get this message[00:04:43]

By the time you get this message[00:04:45]

The stars I see aren't even there[00:04:50]

Light in the air[00:05:32]
