where i've been
i can't recall
no you don't remember me at all
i spend my life
getting high
and thinking of you most the time
i heard your name
in a song
but i thought on for way too long
about a girl
who wasn't you
she don't sparkle the way you do
my baby blue won't you come too
my baby blue won't you come to
when the sky
and sun repeat
i stumble over my lonely feet
i think of where
your face would go
if you'd been too scared to let it show
cuz you remind
me of a ghost
that used to hang around
i haven't seen
her face in days
cuz all i can think about
when i sail out
she flies in
we don't know where we begin
another rainy day
the skies are bare of any songbird that flew
makes it hard to walk away
disguised as anyone that you once knew
but she's quietly changing me
if you listen the city will speak
she'll tell you she's only
in love with the loneliest
poetic know it all kings
yeah that's what she thinks
but she's quietly changing me
she's quietly changing me
these looks are just for show
i'm no one you used to know
will you just sail away
will you just keep on floating by
take this time to walk around
every day you find
you leave behind more of your mind
see the worst lies they can't quite make sounds
it's why i quit your town
from the first time your world was serenaded
to the last time you said you wouldn't show
you danced like you were a raindrop
with a sky who loved too much to let you go
we'd run around the city
i held your hand while you were sleeping
we looked for excuses not to wander
under sheets was everything we'd need
we took turns separating heart strings
and kept them for a rainy day in spring
we'd run around the city
i held your hand while you were sleeping
this town is just full of bad wine
you can leave but you're just leaving me behind
this town is just full of bad wine
when the snow fell you watched it from your coffee
and like anything you said you weren't afraid
i know i know that when the snow melts we'll be laughing
built from unaltered faith that time heals everything
did you know that you impressed me
all along you made the best me
oh! mistress
just one wish
to be on your lips
to taste you
and chase through
this game to your hips
oh! mistress
one more wish
my fingers on your dress
to touch you
so much you
light up my cigarette
and as it burns we can dance across the floor
i'll sing you stories like i've never sung before
la la la
oh! mistress
just one wish
to live in your lungs
to fulfill
your sinful
secrets from everyone
and as we burn we can roll across the floor
i'll stir up stimulating songs you can't ignore
la la la
oh! mistress
one last wish
to sleep in your palms
to want you
and flaunt you
on the tip of my tongue
wake up the moon
she's sleeping in
i can't believe
she's giving in
to a girl
a girl she loved
herself ago
pieces come falling down
the driving eye
behind your tears
waste away
a thousand years
you walk the clouds
you burn my face
you turn to be everything
that's just a little out of place
wake up
wake up to me
i turn over my shoulder
it's just garbage cans and city lights
car alarms and too much time
to be thinking about you
i know you must be crying
when the snow keeps falling
and you're still trying to get back home
man these buildings sure look bare
like the memory of three days ago
snow flakes and stomach aches
just thinking about you
i know you must be lonely
when the snow keeps falling
and you only want to forget about me
but these city lights keep me awake at night
i've got cold hands but i'm not gonna fight it
i'm not sure what to say but i don't want it to go away
so please come back and see these pretty sights
these city lights
i try to relive the moment
of our arms around a few days or so
pretty eyes and butterflies
just thinking about you
i know you must be crying
when the snow keeps falling
and you're still trying to get back home
you know she's gonna face the night
when i go my own way
nothing stops this broken
sky from falling on me
lifting clouds with sounds of
kissing lips so far away
it's a hard day for dreaming
rusted sun in my mind
swallowed up this sad machine
will we atrophy
the hands we're holding
my hearts crossed and folded
it's a hard day for dreaming
it's a hard day for dreaming
heavy water buries
bridges in the room
heart felt waves from seas
just passing by a blueing sky
it's a hard day for dreaming
tell me are you dreaming
