|
I spent a week drinking the sunlight of |
|
Winnetka, |
|
California |
|
Where they understand the weight of human hearts |
|
You see sorrow gets too heavy and joy it tends to hold you |
|
With the fear that it eventually departs |
|
And the truth is |
|
I've been dreaming of some tired tranquil place |
|
Where the weather won't get trapped inside my bones |
|
And if all these years of searching find one sympathetic face |
|
Then it's there |
|
I'll plant these seeds and make my home |
|
I spent a day dreaming of dying in |
|
Mesa, Arizona |
|
Where all the green of life had turned to ash |
|
And I felt |
|
I was on fire with the things |
|
I could have told you |
|
I just assumed that you eventually would ask |
|
And I wouldn't have to bring up my so badly broken heart |
|
And all those months |
|
I just wanted to sleep |
|
And though spring, it did come slowly, |
|
I guess it did its part |
|
My heart has thawed and continues to beat |
|
I visited my brother on the outskirts of |
|
OlympiaWhere the forest and the water become one |
|
And we talked about our childhood like a dream we were convinced of |
|
That perfect peaceful street that we came from |
|
And I know he heard me strumming all those sad and simple chords |
|
As I sat inside my room so long ago |
|
And it hurts that he's still shaking from those secrets that were told |
|
By a car closed up too tight and a heart turned cold |
|
And I went to |
|
San Diego, the birthplace of the summer |
|
And watched the ocean dance under the moon |
|
And there was a girl |
|
I knew there, one more potential lover |
|
I guess that somethings gotta happen soon |
|
Because I know |
|
I can't keep living in this dead or dying dream |
|
As I walked along the beach and drank with her |
|
I thought about my true love, the one |
|
I really need |
|
With eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure |
|
They make me pure, they make me pure |
|
I long to be with you |
|
They make me pure, they make me pure |
|
I long to be with you |
