Polar Bear Club - Drifting Thing lyrics

Forgive me my ties Connections and loose ends This is for the eyes Eyes buried in my neck With a promise of the future Of the uncertain, I play it so sure Our drifting thing Will someday land And I could take you home The lights would, would twitch and blow And you could finally see The us that we're supposed to be When you picture me away It's Alfie Elkins '66 But you didn't see my face When all the kids dancing brought down that place I was more Alvy Singer Each time you put me on the train I'm less and less sure you'll do it again Don't do it again 'Cause we could raise our flag First hem the tattered edge Close our eyes and be In love at seventeen Close, close our eyes and be Close, close our eyes and be, be Close, close our eyes and be In love, in love at seventeen
