lyrics

i flew east in accelerating daylight on a bouncing plane ride
throwing myself against the atoms of manhattan
just to see what happens
and i don't know if there are any unselfish love songs but i'll write you one to have
when i'm gone

and in the slow pan of the escalator and the sharp metal of barriers
i'm worried this is really happening

i'm putting your movements to music
walking in the underground, carrying your bags downtown
i prefer that you not wear that makeup just to cuddle up
because when that doubt sets in i just need to see that you believe
come on baby, be strong for me

san francisco is never this seedy
browse the bottles beneath the bar lights like jewelry
because this is the source that heals and forgives and too much turns too toxic to taste
and if this is a mistake then it's one i have to make

surrender to the unknowable and send me kisses through venus this summer
while you're on a mediterranean beach and i'm in new york city with rain in the waiting

if the west coast is a dream then these are the dreamers
but i'd rather be awake in someone else's dream than asleep on the cold concrete
