leaving the city

middle of the night

took your mom’s old beat up car

we drove until we couldn’t see the city anymore

 

sunrise over water

isn’t that what we came here for

the blue in your eyes

if only you could see what it was like

 

like old friends with nowhere to go

it’s glaring right back at me 

half of me knows it won’t be like this forever

so take it all down in my field notes

 

december i made a promise

january’s all the same

we’ll climb this fountain as long as the water’s all drained

 

tell me where to next

tell me what you’re thinking of

we’ll walk this land until we can’t walk anymore

 

like old friends with nowhere to go

it’s glaring right back at me 

half of me knows it won’t be like this forever

so take it all down in my field notes

 

back into the cold we’ll wander again

and now we are too far off the beaten path

can’t you see the tide’s rolling in

 

like old friends with nowhere to go

it’s glaring right back at me 

half of me knows it won’t be like this forever

so take it all down 

in my field notes

in my field notes
