Down the lane, I breathe out loud in half frozen air.
And the black amnesias in heaven are lighting a half moon on the stairs.
And I bite my lip when I breathe out loud.
Wrapped in Japanese paper all the way around.
California can't see the sun rise,
Because smoke doesn't climb like it lingers.
Runs long on a broken lung.
And the black amnesias in heaven are lighting a half moon on the stairs.
And I bite my lip when I breathe out loud.
Wrapped in Japanese paper all the way around.
California can't see the sun rise,
Because smoke doesn't climb like it lingers.
Runs long on a broken lung.

well, i'm not sure. but i think davey's talking from the position of someone who has a lot of regrets somebody who's been hurt a lot before. where he talks about breathing out loud and biting his lip, it sounds like he's trying to stay as quiet and safe as possible. runs long on a broken lung is just this declaration of how he can still live even though he's been hurt. or so i figure.
