Grip
The American Scene

When the heat breaks I still won't know where I belong
When the rain comes you'll be a thousand miles gone
Picture me sweltering in an August blacktop parking lot
As I'm trying to get some sleep
I was carrying the dingy ring my mother gave me
When I asked if we could talk and you just turned to face the wall
When the sun went down we washed the salt off of our skin
And promised not to think about tomorrow until we had to
You said it takes slow, strong, steady hands to handle something delicate as this
I feel like screaming my lungs out but I'm keeping my mouth shut

Picture me with my tongue between my teeth
Cause you don't want to talk
I'll remember you when I point my body to the west
Because you said that you can tell the difference

From eastern states I'm calling time and time again
When I came home I found your lips all chewed up and eyes bloodshot
I had my knuckles scraped and black and blue
If separate continents are exactly what we need
Then can we handle what that means?
And now were sleeping to the sound of the way things won't work out
I feel like screaming my lungs out but I'm keeping my mouth shut
I feel like screaming my lungs out

Picture me with my tongue between my teeth
Cause you don't want to talk
I'll remember you when I point my body to the west
Because you said that you can tell the difference

So we begin here at the end
The place the silence settled in and took a hold of you
It takes a toll on me
So we begin here at the end
The place the silence settled in and took a hold of you
It takes a toll on me
