I turned the radio off
I played the message back and waited for the static to stop
He says he’s had it with the love that we’ve got
And this manic disconnect of expectations we’ve brought
I guess we’re older now
I guess we’re older than the summer when we drove to my hometown
To see my sister laid into the ground
And we drank to calm us down
Said you felt like praying but we didn’t know how
And if you sing I’ll sing along
And if you’re leaving now, you’re leaving out your lover’s arms
Raise a glass to Casey Jones and to days of past and of fates unknown
When we’d lay awake playing our favorite songs
From dusk to dawn
From dusk to dawn
He makes the first line of attack
He drives his dagger down in her direction but she cuts him right back
Says you can dance, well I expected that
When you kept all that I gave and took the rest of what I had
And if you sing I’ll sing along
And if you’re leaving now, you’re leaving out your lover’s arms
Raise a glass to Casey Jones and to days of past and of fates unknown
When we’d lay awake playing our favorite songs
From dusk to dawn
(From dusk to dawn)
From dusk to dawn
From dusk to dawn
(From dusk to dawn)
From dusk to dawn
You say it’s late in the game
I say it’s darkest just before the sun replaces the rain
You say the meaning of our words is the same
And it’s only diverging expectation to blame
And if you sing I’ll sing along
And if you’re leaving now, you’re leaving out your lover’s arms
Raise a glass to Casey Jones and to days of past and of fates unknown
When we’d lay awake playing our favorite songs
From dusk to dawn
(From dusk to dawn)
From dusk to dawn
From dusk to dawn
(From dusk to dawn)
From dusk to dawn

A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record" Outer Estate
