In steep cliffs with rocks all piled up
Mysteries of your passing luck
Ages pass, shells and bits of bone forming new limestone
To give things their turn
There are no bad words for the coast today
You never knew why you felt so good
In the strangest of places
Like in waiting rooms and long lines that made you late
Or mall parking lots on holidays
There are no bad words for the coast today
When we hold our breath until nothing's left
It all starts to fade
See the stars from where the birds make their homes
Staring back at us
Indifferent but distanced perfectly, projected endlessly
It's so fucking beautiful
There are no bad words for the coast today
Then you ask, "What's a palisade?"
And if we're too late for happiness?
Mysteries of your passing luck
Ages pass, shells and bits of bone forming new limestone
To give things their turn
There are no bad words for the coast today
You never knew why you felt so good
In the strangest of places
Like in waiting rooms and long lines that made you late
Or mall parking lots on holidays
There are no bad words for the coast today
When we hold our breath until nothing's left
It all starts to fade
See the stars from where the birds make their homes
Staring back at us
Indifferent but distanced perfectly, projected endlessly
It's so fucking beautiful
There are no bad words for the coast today
Then you ask, "What's a palisade?"
And if we're too late for happiness?

Favourite RK song and I can't even explain why, it's just so simple.
That was nice and.
Sorry for not being around.
He left work early and took me to the skating ring.
Where all the kids and could've been.
I was scared and tall with skates on and my favorite jeans.
There was a boy who wanted to skate with me.
And he held my hand and we went around more times than I counted.
My mural of an arctic sea.
I was looking at my feet because it was perfect and the air was clean.
And my dad was there it was summer's last eve
and that's how I chose to remember it.
Sounds like a cute kid recalling a sweet moment.
You were very close:
Dad was nice and seemed sorry for not being around,
he left work early and took me to the skating rink,
where all the kids in the world could've been
I was scared and tall with skates on,
and my favorite jeans
and there was a boy who wanted to skate with me
and he held my hand and we went around
more times than I counted
by a mural of the arctic sea
I was looking at my feet because it was perfect and the air was clean
and my dad was there it was summers last eve
and that's how I choose to remember it.
<3Love it.
"You never knew why you felt so good
In the strangest of places
Like in waiting rooms and long lines that made you late
Or mall parking lots on holidays"
"well we were going out to the palisades,
where the sea swishes on the sand,
where the views are cheap,
and spectacular,
they're spectacular,
if you could just take my hand."
I love this song.
it's so FUCKING beautiful.
to me
its about how we grow older and change
and so doesn everything else, but they seem slower and older
and how the world is so big
but so small
and everything is so random
but makes so much sense
thats just my 2 cents
and the part about 'there are no bad words for the coast today' reminds me of home and like sending a message home that im doing well here.
plus my boyfriend claims to like long lines and on the way up to go hiking that day i mentioned the Palisades mall and he asked 'what's a palisade?' i swear.
