Brand New Colony
The Postal Service

I'll be the grape's fermented bottle
that's served when the tables set
and my finest suit
like a perfect gentleman

I'll be the fire escape that's
bolted to the ancient brick
where you will sit
and contemplate your day

I'll be the one who rings
to save you if you start drowning
in an open tap
when your judgement's on the brink

I'll be the phonograph
that plays your favourite albums back
as your lying there
drifting off to sleep (drifting off to sleep)

I'll be the platform shoes
and do what hereditary's done to you
you wont have to strain
to look into my eyes

I'll be your winter coat
buttons up straight to the throat
with the collar up
so you wont catch cold

I want to take you far
from the cynics in this town
and kiss you on the mouth
we'll cut our bodies free
from the tethers of this scene
start a brand new colony
where everything will change
will give ourselves new names
identities erased
The sun will heat the ground
under our bare feet
in this brand new colony
this brand new colony

Everything will change
Everything will change
Everything will change

if i could give you one thing, it would be me.
