lyrics

The halls of my head are lined
With the still frames of you in that purple dress
In a city of lights caught by your eyes
And your smile bright, the way I like you the best

If not for this cartography I could wake up at your feet

So I turn back my clocks to feel closer to you
Strum a few simple chords, it's the best I can do
As for now you are dancing with earthquakes
On a bay guarded by a golden gate

On these nights when I'm waxing nostalgic
And I just can't sleep, wish you were here next to me
But I know that these thoughts are foolish, contrite and naive
We could never be

And if not for this bar keep my glass would be empty
The rocks waste away to naught
So pour one more round, yeah this whiskey goes down
Like it's water that my body needs

So I turn back my clocks to feel closer to you
Strum a few simple chords it's the best I can do
As for now I'm dissolving with Summer
My skin is burned but it will get better.

At least I think...
