Dust Storm (How We Hold Each Other Right Now)

Pictures came back from Mars, I knew golden age we're told
Mars had rivers, lakes, and seas but like never seem to take hold
And in the emptiness my mind goes back to you

We live beneath, we live above and we live below
All of us next to each other but so utterly alone
When we were in this all together now we're on our own

CHORUS
and you learn tenderness is essential
And you learn the only thing I know
Is how we hold each other right now

Make a deal with someone new but this is too scary to ignore
It won't dent my isolation and we change what we're looking for
Still we've learned what's worth our time and what's a bore

CHORUS

And a dust storm, we got caught
I came out with the balance of an astronaut
Meet me in the garden by the road and will drive up the coast
I've been sleepwalking all year but I didn't give up the ghost
It all seems like we've been so alone
And the veil lives on the death we lived in
No more proxies, no more stand ins
Skies open up

The only thing I know is how we hold each other right now
