written over the summer, the day i came home from california. recorded 10/8/04
Lyrics
you kissed me on the hood of your car
and you told me “baby, we’re gonna go far”
but to go somewhere, honey we gotta move
and i’ve stayed in one place since the day i met you
metal moonlight- it looked so serene
your hands on my hips were so serpentine
but at this point baby it’s just make or break
‘cause i’m tired of waiting and sleeping with snakes
chorus: i drew these lines late last year
and since then i’ve been breathing, dear
so take one step forward, or three to the side
so that when we meet, we won’t collide
sunrise, the color of burns
and i'd apologize, but i think it’s your turn
now i want to go back to the west coast
‘cause i’m sick of kissing the fingers of ghosts
in retrospect, it was fight or flight
and i looked down at the city lights
as they walk through my walls, I hear them say
baby you knew it would end up this way
baby you knew it would end up this way
chorus x2
