Spanish Reds

(album: Heart Beats Pacific - 2011)

Where's the sun? And when did our lives become
Stuck in this fucked up place, in this routine?
Vampire jobs to TV screen
Show me what we missed, 'cause we should be more along than this
If we ever had a path then we lost it
Wake up drained and exhausted

We don't fight, we just talk real loud
Then we turn our backs. We're kinda like this town
Snake bit. I don't know why we keep rolling twos
But at the end of the day it's just background noise
It's not me and you. So if you wanna stay up all night
We can hit the record shops or just stay in bed drinking Spanish Reds
Waiting for the rain to stop
It's passing trough, and you know that you are looking like an angel now
I watch you fall asleep on a dead end street
And the world is right somehow
And the world is right somehow

Here's the spring, I wanna know everything
All of your washed up dreams, and where you been
Northwest town you grew up in
Everything you did. Wish I coulda met you as a kid
Back when we had a path, but we lost it
Wake up drained and exhausted

We don't fight, we just talk real loud
Then we turn our backs. We're kinda like this town
Snake bit. I don't know why we keep rolling twos
But at the end of the day it's just background noise
It's not me and you. So if you wanna stay up all night
We can hit the record shops or just stay in bed drinking Spanish Reds
Waiting for the rain to stop
It's passing trough, and you know that you are looking like an angel now
I watch you fall asleep on a dead end street
And the world is right somehow

And if we fell apart, and if we lose the day
And if we hit the edge of the map drop off and never find our way
If we never win, if we take all our swings and miss
I can live with that, die happy, know there's no one else I'd rather lose with
