Lyrics
Patient morning
Experiencing a calm and tranquil morning
I felt the sky collapse
Feeling a sense of overwhelming change or disruption in the atmosphere
A short story
Describing a brief narrative or account
Don’t leave home without a map
Advice to be prepared and not venture into the unknown without guidance
This glory is what I felt as I was soaring
Expressing a feeling of elation or magnificence while flying
Splitting clouds
Metaphorically describing a breakthrough or transcending barriers
I’m leaving town tonight
Announcing the intention to leave the current location this evening
Bags packed and I’m out the door
Packed belongings and ready to depart
95 to catch my flight at four
Heading to the interstate 95 to catch a flight scheduled for 4 PM
And I can’t stay here
Expressing an inability to remain in the current situation or place
Let me sign the waiver
Suggesting a willingness to release or let go by signing a waiver
Touch down on the gulf coast
Arriving at the Gulf Coast after the flight
Unbuckle and exit by the nose
Disembarking and leaving the plane, possibly in a non-traditional way ("by the nose")
The sun is hotter
Indicating an increase in temperature with the arrival at the Gulf Coast
And I can feel the water
Sensing the proximity of water and the warmth of the sun
This morning I felt the sky collapse
Recalling the earlier experience of the sky collapsing in the morning
A short story
Repeating the description of a short story or narrative
Don’t leave home without a map
Reiterating the advice to always be prepared when leaving home
This glory is what I felt as I was soaring
Re-experiencing a feeling of elation or magnificence while soaring
Splitting clouds
Repeating the metaphor of splitting clouds as a symbol of overcoming obstacles
I’m leaving town tonight
Reaffirming the intention to leave the town during the night
On the balcony of the third floor
Being on a balcony on the third floor, observing the surroundings
Spark a joint and stare out at the shore
Lighting a joint and gazing at the shoreline
It feels like home now
Feeling a sense of familiarity and comfort in the current location
And I’m getting stoned now
Engaging in the act of getting high or intoxicated
And I can’t stay here
Reiterating the inability to stay in the current place or situation
Let me sign the waiver
Expressing a willingness to release or let go by signing a waiver once again
The sun is hotter
Reiterating the increased intensity of the sun's heat
And I can feel the water
Reiterating the sensation of feeling the warmth of water
Patient morning
Recalling the patient and calm morning
I felt the sky collapse
Re-experiencing the feeling of the sky collapsing in the morning
A short story
Reiterating the description of a short story or narrative
Don’t leave home without a map
Reiterating the advice to always be prepared when leaving home
This glory is what I felt as I was soaring
Re-experiencing a feeling of elation or magnificence while soaring
Splitting clouds
Repeating the metaphor of splitting clouds as a symbol of overcoming obstacles
I’m leaving town tonight
Reaffirming the intention to leave the town during the night
