Alien Planet

from Waiting on the Comedown by Rounak Maiti

/

lyrics

When you get around to making calls at the hours that you set
It's hard to see how you can commit this time
Coastal fever got me down, it consumed me once before
But the sealine couldn't feel farther in my mind

Can you hear a bout of wisdom in my words?
You said I can barely hear you so I just sat and smiled
Time has stood still in this station
So we share the heat that crosses borderlines

The one that melts the sidewalk, I can see it through my window
I wish you could see much more than just skyline
Though a beautiful world can heal your troubles
The ugliness is what kept me alive

Yes we're so far apart
We're so far apart
So far apart
Gotten used to being far apart

Last year we were idling in the bedroom that was my balcony
When I spoke a few words to feel at home
It's funny to the ones who never accepted me
Being home is strange, I wrote to you downstairs

Started to narrate my everyday
Felt my words collapsing on themselves
Reaching for an alien planet that’ll take me
When you're neither there nor here it's all that makes sense

We're so far apart
They're all getting closer but we're still far apart
We're so far apart
Forever on my way to a brand new start
