What Was That

A place in the city, a chair, and a bed

I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet

I wear smoke like a wedding veil

Make a meal I won't eat

Step out into the street, alone in a sea

It comes over me

Oh, I'm missing you

Yeah, I'm missing you

And all the things we used to do

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?

I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"

Well, I want you just like that

Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out

I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for–

Since I was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now, we wake from a dream

Well, baby, what was that?

What was that?

Baby, what was that?

Do you know you're still with me

When I'm out with my friends?

I stare at their painted faces

They talk current affairs

You had to know this was happening

You weren't feeling my heat

When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right

I face reality

I try (I try)

To let (To let)

Whatever has to pass through me, pass through

But this is staying a while, I know

It might not let me go

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?

I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life"

Well, I want you just like that

Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out

I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for me

Since I was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?

What was that?

'Cause I want you just like that

When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright

What was that?

When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright

Baby, what was that?
