Synesthesia - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Andrew McMahon

I saw pictures from the space shuttle

North America at night

I could almost see my house

I could almost see the rest of my life

Now my mothers in the hospital

And my friends are in the news

Collecting trophies for the songs they wrote

When we lived in the shadow of the moon

Guess I never make a gold record

And I have never been to mars

But I’ve traveled 'round this world

Shooting fireworks at falling stars

No prison bars

And my fathers got a decent job

I hear he’s finally pulling through

There’s more to life than singing songs we write

When we are in the shadow of the moon

I see colors

When I hear your voice

Grab your wings they’re putting gravity on trial

I see colors

I don’t hear the noise

Because we’re only flying for a while

Because we’re only flying for a while

I saw this picture of my niece

Twisting high above a narrow beam

And my brother looked so proud

Like he woke up in this perfect dream

And I’ve know you all my life

But I knew you long before that too

Lets go dancing to the songs we wrote

When we lived in the shadow of the moon

I see colors

When I hear your voice

Grab your wings

They’re putting gravity on trial

I see colors

I don’t hear the noise

Sometimes you’re only flying for a while

I could love you

In the falling rain

Grab your wings

This is a storm we’re meant to ride

Like Synesthesia

Aboard a stalling plane

It’s like we’re only flying for a while

I see colors

When I hear your voice

Grab your wings

They’re putting gravity on trial

I see colors

I don’t fear the choice

Because we’re only flying for a while

And I could love you

In the falling rain

Grab your wings

This is the storm we’re meant to ride

Like Synesthesia

Aboard a stalling plane

Sometimes we’re only flying for a while

I can see the colors running

When I hear the music play
