The mammoth closer is an epic journey through our experiences in the pool house, complete with what is possibly the best guitar solo ever recorded - played by the one and only James West.

lyrics

When I awoke I was stranded
On the shores where we landed
Try as though I might, no hope was in sight
Cast away and washed out on the short line
Shot up desperate flares into the night air
Punching holes of light into the sky but

We are so much more than the sum of our parts
So break my legs, my arms, and my heart
I won't pretend to know what you've been through
It's just been so hard to get to where we are
I can see that he hurt you
Bandages wrapped so tight you
Just need to say what you're thinking

Our plans changed when the boat sunk
Marked the days on a tree trunk
Why'd you have to go and leave me all alone
Who will wake you up come Monday morning
Who will talk you through the crazy things you do
Who will hold your hand until it's over

We are so much more than the sum of our parts
So break my legs, my arms, and my heart
I won't pretend to know what you've been through
It's just been so hard to get to where we are
I can see that he hurt you
Bandages wrapped so tight you
Just need to say what you're thinking

Recreate the sky on the ceiling of your room
Oh starry, starry night
Spell it out for me to read
In constellations clear and bright
They burn for us tonight
To show the way to go from here

If a tree can fit into a tiny seed
Then why can't you put some faith in me
In everything, in everything
We'll stretch our arms out towards the sun
Embracing life and love and warmth
In everyone, in everyone
We'll act on impulse, throw out our plans
Forget your parents, they'll understand
That we are young, we're still so young

Mapmaker, mapmaker, please sketch me a map
To lead me and guide me back to where you'll find me
I trust you'll know
The way to go
From here
