Power Lines by Telekinesis Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First time I looked straight into her eyes
I saw the future, I saw bluer skies
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Even when I'm lonely I am always surprised all
Of the ways you told me to keep my eye on the prize

[Chorus 1]
You and your photographic memory
You and your photographic memory

[Verse 2]
I'm a broken man, I'm damaged goods
Lock me in the basement with furnace soot
You came along in your party dress
I climbed a mountain under house arrest

[Chorus 2]
When we were kids, I swear we were power lines
Out on some journey, searching for some better minds
[Bridge]
You can't cut it out, no you can't keep it out of line
Looking for the pavement
Looking like we're running out of time
And I am yours and you are mine

[Verse 3]
Batten down the hatches and man the sails
The war isn't over, it's not even tipped the scales
Run down the tracks like a bat out of hell
Don't muss up your hair because we're destined to fail

[Chorus 3]
When I was young, I thought I was a power line
When I was young, I was searching for some better time
