Red Line

(album: Heart Beats Pacific - 2011)

A red line month in a stall out year
But then it crashed somehow and we landed here
In your doorway on a fall day, I try and salvaged what I can
Say that if I could hit stop I'd rewind tonight
But then I guess some things are just black or white in your eyes
So goodbye never had a chance I realize

It's been sparks in gasoline and we got lit up, ignite
I was part way through a dream when it blew up tonight
So so long. Alone and halfway gone
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
On neon streets in parking lots
A long walk where I belong
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
On neon streets in parking lots (tonight)

Up there's where they say heaven lies
Know it's just black clouds in a dirty sky
I'd call you but it's risky because I make no sense on whiskey
With all my jumbled thoughts strewn across the floor
I know they all read wrong so I write some more
Some failed tries, my pen dies
All a waste of time I realize

It's been sparks in gasoline and we got lit up, ignite
I was part way through a dream when it blew up tonight
So so long. Alone and halfway gone
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
On neon streets in parking lots
A long walk where I belong
I try and find my way but I get lost in thought
On neon streets in parking lots (tonight)

I guess everything falls apart
Loose lips sing ships and hopeful hearts
Tonight I'll sit here soaking
Tomorrow morning I'll start drying out...
