Synesthesia Lyrics - Singles - Andrew Mcmahon

I saw pictures from the space shuttle 

Of America tonight 

I could almost see my house 

I could almost see the rest of my life 

And my mother's in the hospital 

And my friends are in the news 

Collecting trophies for the songs they wrote 

While we lived in the shadow of the moon 

Yes, I never made a gold record 

And I've never been to Mars 

But I've traveled around this world 

Shooting fireworks and falling stars, and prison bars 

And my father's got a decent job 

And he's finally pulling through 

There's more to life than singing songs we wrote 

While we lived in the shadow of the moon 

And I see colors when I hear your voice 

Put on your wings that put gravity on trial 

And I see colors, I don't hear the noise 

Because we're only flying for a while 

Because we're only flying for a while 

I saw this picture of my niece 

Twisting high above the narrow beam 

And my brother looked so proud 

Like he woke up in this perfect dream 

And I've known you all my life 

But I knew you long before that tune 

Let's go dancing to the songs we wrote 

When we lived in the shadow of the moon 

And I see colors when I hear your voice 

Put on your wings that put gravity on trial 

I see colors, I don't hear the noise 

Because we're only flying for a while 

And I could love you in the falling rain 

Like many things, this is a storm we're meant to ride 

Like synesthesia aboard a stalling plane 

It's like we're only flying for a while 

Flying for a while 

Whoooaaaaaaa (x3) 

And I see colors when I hear your voice 

Put on your wings that put gravity on trial 

I see colors, and I don't feel the choice 

Because we're only flying for a while 

And I could love you in the falling rain 

Like many things, this is a storm we're meant to ride 

Like synesthesia aboard a stalling plane 

It's like we're only flying for a while 

Flying for a while 

Flying for a while 

Flying for a while 

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa
