Skeleton Key
Banner Pilot Lyrics

Half asleep with the sun coming up out east
We were not fully awake, but we saw the sunrise to the east

We're driving down Garfield Ave when you said a strange and significant thing
We were on Garfield Ave when you said something strange and important

I can remember the words - "this was a beautiful night It won't, it won't ever happen this way again"
You said that the night was beautiful and that we could never experience such a night again

No, my dear, nothing much grows around here We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided
The place isn't really fertile, so we have to bring our own roots. We are like weeds, uprooted and misplaced

Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took The setting can't be nowhere else in the world
You will be the star of my life story, the story will capture what we have gone through. The setting of our story can only be here

And the story opens up with you Your broken dreams and cheap perfume You're on a city bus, the rain it falls Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls
The story begins with you- your shattered dreams, cheap fragrance, drenched by rain on a bus. Your makeup is smudged as you face the fierce winds

And I stumble on from Uptown bars I guess that's all I've got so far Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how You save me and then you save yourself
I move on from drinking at Uptown bars, but that's all I have achieved so far. Yet, you save me first and then help yourself

It ends so soon, the night and the fading moon I put my hand inside yours, the city looks strange and significant I know these streets, the place where I'll live and die Resigned to that fact, but I, I'm hoping it happens this way again
The night ends too soon, and the moon fades away. I hold your hand as we walk, and the usual city looks different yet important to me. I know I'll spend my life here and eventually die here, but I hope we have another night like this one

Fall asleep to the radio Try to keep what I got from you Hard to do in these dreary days
Fall asleep with the radio on and try to hold onto what I have from you, which is hard to do during these gloomy days
