Matt Pond Pa Reading Lyrics

I'm waiting for the quiet
After the darker light
They'll be everything
To stop the sun

There is no silent choir
You can't turn down desire
Go a few more times
Around the sun

Don't want to read about it in the places we could go
I'd rather never see, never look and never know
I'd rather never know

Don't hold it up for me
I've seen all I can see
Refuse to read about it in a monthly magazine
The way you keep demanding that I really ought to be

One day in lighter lives
Someday there will be quiet
We could steal everything
Stop the sun

We are not getting by
Will we not join the choir
We'll have everything
To stop the sun

Don't want to read about it in the places we could go
I'd rather never see, never look and never know I'd rather never know

Don't hold it up for me
I've seen all I can see
Refuse to read about it in a monthly magazine
The way you keep demanding that I really ought to be

Oh no. How could we ever think we were a part of
Conviction is our only partner
You and I should go away from here
Oh no. I don't want the night to make us worry
Don't want to be safe or sorry
You and I could go away from here

Don't want to read about it in the places we could go
I'd rather never see, never look and never know
I already know

Don't hold it up for me
I've seen all I can see
Refuse to read about it in a monthly magazine
The way you keep demanding that I really ought to be
