"On Jet Lag" lyrics - PINEGROVE

Don't tell me that the west has won;
We worked hard to reverse that notion
Closer than anyone, but we're not for each other, no:
I've got to crack my eyes to watch the wind blow

Cat's Cradle is a fable, we all know that
Soon as I can I will slide that under the table
I met your mother and your father & I liked them;
They bicker the way we bicker
The way we bicker

A black cat just snuck up on me;
Activities and distractions are my remedy
You're writing by lamp light, you're writing by the moon rise:
A stark contrast to the Montclairian buzz skies

Cat's Cradle is a fable, we all know that
Soon as I can I will slide that under the table
I met your mother and your father & I liked them;
They bicker the way we bicker
Back when our blood was thicker than oil
& the soil was in every spark & every plug
& everything. My departure made my nerves sting
It's leaving a person place or thing you know you shouldn't

On jet lag: I'm past that
Plainly, none of this is that bad
He said, "let me be clear this woman's crazy."
I caught a glimpse of your truth as you turned to me
& it was kind & it was stubborn, just like I'd like mine to be
So I will dissuade, I will just sleep
I can be patient, probably
