lyrics

The city lights have turned to orange and blue,
Let me take a photograph before you move.

Whiskey gaze and the night staring back,
Pressed against the window with your eyes painted black.

Living from your suitcase strewn out on the floor,
We could pack it up and make a run for the shore.

Well I'll be quiet if you'll be still,
Smoke a cigarette in the windowsill.

And I'll be quiet if you'll be still,
Smoke a cigarette in the windowsill.

Buried under celluloid and leaves of grass,
when you get the Fear we can help it pass.

Your rolling bones were born to roam,
What use do we have for a word like home?

We could burn our labels and our watches and our phones,
head out to the woods into parts unknown.

Leave the world behind and we can both be free,
Spend the nights out underneath the sunset tree.

And I'll be quiet if you'll be still,
Smoke a cigarette in the windowsill.

And I'll be quiet if you'll be still,
Smoke a cigarette in the windowsill.
