Lyrics
The Pungo-Blackwater Library sign is buzzing a flat B-note.
Got my father's old voter card tucked inside my coat.
The linoleum's reflecting a face I barely know,
but I trace the constellation of your freckles just to cope.
[Pre-Chorus]
This whole November morning, I've been practicing my smile.

'Bout to change the gravity all over this whole place.
[Chorus]

It's a parallax error, baby, the angle of their view.
They see a problem to be solved, and all I see is you.
[Outro]
Anyway... I'm almost there. Call me when you get this.
