These United States - First Sight

Wonderful wonderful lyrics and beautiful music from These United States. Here are the lyrics wot I transcribed so they may not be perfect:

With her mouth making movements to introduce thoughts
I sat deafened by trust on that sofa it crossed
Quietly calculating the logistics of lust
Of when unspoken things could then happen between us

And then once those were done and we'd got through love
We would shoot from the hip, reacting off of the cuff
Splitting up at the fork when the going got rough
With a plan for a point to rejoin on the road further up

Our windows thin where ice carved it's flowers
I would hold her and let the wind beat back those hours
And then standing on subway trains clutching her dress
Dependant on her balance as the walls were useless

And while its alright to hold tight please don't try to hold on
'Cause it's a home run we hit love [?] 'cause it's going and gone
And then the world turned so fast it was astoundingly still
And it must have been that moment made of midnight on the hill

Right when the cattle racks alley cat spat back at the moon
Thrown out into the night time nine lifetimes too soon
We had come such a ways and knew just what he meant
There's a picture of the three of us at the gate to the garden of Eden

You can get home but you can't get in
Locks are like longing - an everchanging thing
And keys are just clouds made of metal and spark
We knew exactly who we were and yet couldn't quite say who we still are

I saw it all happening in one grand epic sweep
from that first sight that we wouldn't get to sleep for a week
Generations would follow the course that we'd charted
From that sofa a cross I couldn't wait to get started

These United States' debut album, 'A Picture of the Three of Us at the Garden of Eden' was released on the 26th of February. They have a few dates in the UK in October.
