about

A song for cheap motels & road trips.

lyrics

the highway emptied to the bay, so we got off
you holed up silently and i just wandered out
into a lonely town that we couldn't get beyond
you soaked and struggled and i waited in the fog

break it into two parts and i'll hold it up for you
i couldn't play for keeps, and so i badly misconstrued
if you meant to not mean anything, i'll just play it cool
and you know the weather never put us out of tune

if you think hard enough i hope you remember the plan
i scrawled in blue and black ink all over the palm of your hand
and now i will try so hard to waste your precious time
and you know if you ever get lonely i will meet you at the ocean side

i'd never be ashamed to sleep or sleep it off
it's easy as far as i can tell to be what your life has become
but it's so vacant just to string along the days
with the sun straight in your eyes and laughter decorating your face

and when you suffocate the room, you chase your chills like they would take us to an ice age in a cave that's painted blue
the stars were so far away and i was not floating off soon
it never made sense to me, i stayed at home threw flowers at the moon

i hope the sun lifts you up by your roots and colors the clouds in your sky
i hope the monsters under your bed get lobotomies and grow kinder
i hope that the wind carries you to some far faraway island
if you're going and losing your mind, i am right behind you
