lyrics

we could turn the lights out
lying with the blankets up
listening to trucks pass
underneath the street lamps

we could sleep or stay up
wake up when the lights up
just before the sun cracks
over through the rooftop

this shouldn’t work but it does
didn’t expect to spend the night
but i’m in your arms

this shouldn’t work but it does
didn’t expect to spend the night
but i’m in your arms

your back seats piled up
with gym clothes and makeup
in your car I fall asleep
pass out in the front seat
on the pavement i was half-awake
half-ocean, half-sky, half-shore, half-tide
now i’m free

and we lived together
lived for three nights in a hotel
listening to traffic
underneath a blanket

we knew we could stay up
wake up when the lights up
just before the sun cracks
over through the rooftop

this shouldn’t work but it does
didn’t expect to spend the night
but i’m in your arms

your back seats piled up
with gym clothes and makeup
in your car I fall asleep
pass out in the front seat
on the pavement you were on my mind
half-ocean, half-sky, half-shore, half-tide
now i’m free

outro:

isn’t it just like life to tell you that your
not who you thought you were
it’s not what u thought it was
and you should feel free

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
