lyrics

These days are a series
Of tragedies and jokes
Good times cheap wine
Waiting for the show
Sipping on something different
Time travels in a memory
Until you’re way out west
Next to me

They found us on the promenade
How many nights did we rage away
Were you waiting on the gravity in me
To hold you down

It was written on a subway wall
“Meet me in the wild”
And I got weak for drifting
Like the spirit of a child
I never knew that I’d been bleeding
Until you stitched me up
In the back of a stranger’s truck

They found us on the promenade
How many nights did we hide away
Were you waiting on the gravity in me
To hold you down

A pretty voice cut through the noise
On that sandy street
Blue lights lost nights
Boots upon the beach
The open bars were closing
Yeah we rode that party wave
I had always known
But I never heard you say

They found us on the promenade
How many nights did we rage away
Were you waiting on the gravity in me
To hold you down

Were you waiting on the gravity in me
To lay you down
