lyrics

She makes them all die laughing. Her hair is up again
I love it down. She hates it down.
She says that she is sorry and I dont care at all.
This city is sleeping outside in respite from the sun.
The asphalt sighing softly, cooling in the night.
Streetlights flicker off and she is in my eyes
She says, “Take my keys. Go and warm my bed.”
How sweet to be so suddenly astray inside my head.
We are racing to an end. We are crashing into bed.
We are racing to an end. We are crashing into bed.
Drowning sweetly into sleep, sinking safely in her sheets.
She lies awake, I’m breathing. She’d die to leave this room.
We are starting over in hopes of seeing through.
Looking to horizons out past the broken sea.
Supported by her doubts and her fears in me.

Drown me in the ocean of her bed.
Cling so long, My Love.

Mountains tower over these placid, stormless, tranquil seas.
and your voice crashes over me like tender waves of indigo.
one more hotel to suture these wounds.
