Lyrics

Smoky hotel restaurant
somewhere in New England
the waitress asks me what I want
I tell her I'm still thinking
when I'm sober all my words taste like copper pennies
so strange to me
I take a toothpick and I walk outside
the sky is lavender and rose gold
another sweet and salty summer night
an empty road that smells like charcoal
I strain my ears to hear the angels sing
but they don't owe me anything
Can anybody hold me now?
Can anybody tell me how
could we ever be lonely
with all the whole wide world around?
Baby when the lights go off
I think we're praying to the same god
I think we're holding to the same rock
I think we're drowning in the same mirage
I wish I'd worn my old blue dress
and let my hair fall round my shoulders
I wish I wanted life a little less
I wish my heart did like I told her
she used to be such a pretty thing
wearing a boardwalk ring
It's such a windy world out there
and everybody keeps on blowing away
I try to tell myself that I don't care
but I learn to love the ones that stay
so ugly and cold
these birds that bring us home
Can anybody hold me now?
Can anybody tell me how
could we ever be lonely
with all the whole wide world around?
Baby when the lights go off
I think we're praying to the same god
I think we're holding to the same rock
I think we're drowning in the same mirage
Smokey hotel restaurant
somewhere in New England
