lyrics

canary in a coal mine

how long is there a great wide open
how high should I be feeling
warm sun splitting my head wide open
cool wind feels like an ocean

sweetheart, met in a school play backstage
snuck away to kiss between sets
new car, sped off to sink in love’s start
but sun shined in and made me forget

it keeps coming back to me, oh please
so keep coming back to me, oh please
keep coming back to me
hopefully I’ll wait and see
you’re still coming back to me

drove fast, spotted your face as I passed
one last look became a few days
smoke rings, a haze of familiar feelings
but wind blew in and swept me away

it keeps coming back to me, oh please
so keep coming back to me, oh please
keep coming back to me
hopefully I’ll wait and see
you’re still coming back to me

canary in a coal mine
hamster on a wheel
rat in a cage
I better act my age
and give into what’s real

canary in a coal mine
with nothing left to feel
when everything I gave
is all that I became
a kid without a name
a never ending game

so keep coming back to me, oh please
keep coming back to me
hopefully I’ll wait and see
you’re still coming back to me
