Pasadena

Up on the hill In the night City spread out and sparkling before me Eyes well again Joy and relief And it's stress and it's sadness for change Half unpacked belongings For the fifth time in only four years The luster's worn down I don't know where home is Anymore but I need a break from the constant upheaval This will try me on I'll try it on, too There is something between us Surprised to find this At the edge of the rift Just by Pasadena Try to open your eyes A crowd of faces I feel like I know Entertained, I'm saying odd things to strangers Driving home, I think Of you and your eyes But I can't That's not part of the plan But I meet you late At quarter past ten It's cold for southern California I say one drink Just one We shut the place down So much to discuss You'll try me on I'll try you on too There is something between us Surprised to find this Under a rainy cold roof At a bar in Pasadena Try to open your heart Harder than it should be to leave behind The wrong things, the wrong thing Rip and rebuild, it hurts every time All the right ways, the right ways The sun shines Brighter here Than anywhere I've been in a long time I want to see it all Drink in as much as I can In the time and the space that I have I'm trying it all on It's trying me, too There is something between us Still surprised to find this Open end of the box Just by Pasadena Try to open your mind I am
