Temporary Resident Songtext
von Imaginary Cities

Star and sky
All around us as we drive tonight
Fireflies
Dying on the windshield right before our eyes
And I have to wonder why you choose to leave
Look where we are and all the places yet to see
There′s so much time for other things
School and family

But for now, oh for now we don't want you to leave


The thing about you leaving
Makes me wonder how
You can turn your back on rock and roll for Montreal
The thing about you leaving
Makes me wonder why
I stay in this shitty city
Why stay? Why stay?

Highway lines
Out the window of this van
Marking time
Yours and mine
You′re taking the off ramp up ahead while there's still time
And I say I don't mind at all but of course I do
And you say you′ll miss us this fall but I doubt that′s true
Someday we'll move from this time
Maybe it′ll all be fine

But for now, oh for now you're just ready to go

Someday we′ll move from this time
Maybe it'll all be fine
But for now, oh for now you′re just ready to go
