Cover art for Reno lyrics by Colour Revolt

Your lyrics are far better than what is posted. One thing I heard a little differently:

"But they both had to run, for something they couldn't have.

He bows for the future, she bows for the calf. She bows for the future, he bows for the calf."

Yes, I think you are right acstarkweather. :)

Anyway, in the spirit of this site being about song meanings I think it's about two people who are looking for a change and find each other? That's what I get out of it...

I find the lyrics about the 'calf' interesting. Maybe it's in reference to her daughter Carol? Just a thought.
