I am a frightened rabbit
Running off a map
Only loved you out of habit
I ain’t proud of that
But while I do the dishes
I hum a little tune
Someday, no time soon

I was raised in a maligned
Fading border town
Trying to change somebody’s mind
It’ll only drag you down
When I think of going back
It’s a summer afternoon
Someday, no time soon

There’s a better way to live
Quietly someplace
Where nobody will admit
They have ever known your face
You are tempted by the countryside
Well, I am not immune
Someday, no time soon

The sun is going down
On the house across the street
I’m a colder person now
I am trying not to be
When I come to my senses
I’ll be in a darkened room
Someday, no time soon

I assume that every star
Is where it’s supposed to be
I am waiting in the car
You tilt your head and wave to me
I roll down the window
You say come out and see the moon
Someday, no time soon

I am sure that you think of me
Scarcely, if at all
But if you do some night quite suddenly
Don’t hesitate to call
Even just breakfast
In some greasy spoon
Someday, no time soon
