lyrics

met my brother down in omaha
speaking sacred tongues
we both leaned into our spirals
harmonized to song
made a reservation to cool off my nerves
swimming in the river, it was more than i deserved
i will always remember where our Big Sky hovers
even in the darkness home is in that magic color

you do you and i'll do me
discovering the self is true bravery
if i give myself the time i offer to pointless jobs
will i ever find the rhyme that is in my song?
will i ever find the rhyme that is waiting for my song?

met my sister on sunset strip
plagiarized DNA
'til the moment our egos tripped
we never Doris Dayed
drove down the back roads to crossroads cafe
not a single shadow on the ground, every feeling was safe
every dance we made was outer space
every dance we made was inner space
we've grooved until we couldn't...

you do you and i'll do me
discovering the self is true bravery
if i give myself the time i offer to pointless jobs
will i ever find the rhyme that is in my song?
will i ever find the rhyme that is waiting for my song?

now if i'm lonely, i try to feel alone
and, when i'm only, i remember i'm my own

met my brother down in omaha
speaking sacred tongues
we both leaned into spirals
you do you and i'll do me...
i gave myself the time of my life (what did i miss?)
