Written by Miles Gannett

lyrics

As close to a miracle as I’ve ever seen,
across the street they’re giving out free gasoline,
and nobody’s being mean, just getting their souls redeemed.

It’s a quarter past midday, but there’s still time
to make conversation in the checkout line.
Maybe it’s a sign that we’re in decline.

But I don’t care about good times past
‘cause they couldn’t ever last,
and all their glory got faded fast
like the midday sun.
Well, that’s everything, to be fair,
but your love don’t seem to care,
and I know it will still be there
once the day is done.
You’re my peak; you’re my meridian.

Golden Age buildings, all broken down,
there hasn’t been work since the trains left town;
but if you’re still down, we can still get down.

We’ll throw a cemetery rave and dance like fiends,
drinking Crush orange soda with the Romani queen
who made such a scene back in 1915.

But I don’t care about good times past,
‘cause they couldn’t ever last,
and all their glory got faded fast
like the midday sun.
Well, that’s everything, to be fair,
but your love don’t seem to care,
and I know it will still be there
once the day is done.
You’re my peak; you’re my meridian.
