lyrics

portland is soaked in gold, i'm seeing highlights of pink and purble
we cut small swatches of lawn from a grid we weave with our motors on
before we talked my nerves were made of tin
my words caught a ride on your tear skipped a beat at your lips and poised at your chin
i'm always scared of endings, i almost met mine now they're all i believe
when you're afraid to start all you see is the parts and there's no love story

i came here to find you without a place to stay
your necklace is in san francisco and your head can't explain
if we look up now we'll find things to doubt
beauty was our favorite place to stay before we all got kicked out

i keep a memory of you in a red velvet room
a drink on the table and the moon in the window

the birds of may are pounding in my head
my ghost is tamed but i'm already dead

i lost it in the car that day and i'm never quite the same
put your scars on paper so your body doesn't carry the weight
i drank from your lopsided mug, still feeling your hug while the bugs buzzed on the screen
i forgot you were out there now it's the chase, not the catch, that's release
i felt quiet and i didn't know you weren't coming back
so i climbed into bed alone and left your presence unwrapped
