about

it's a bright eyes cover! woo

lyrics

i spent a week drinking the sunlight in winnetka, california
where they understand the weight of human hearts
you see, sorrow gets too heavy and joy it tends to hold you
with the fear that it eventually departs
and the truth is i’ve been dreaming of some tired tranquil place
where the weather won’t get trapped inside my bones
and if all my years of searching find one sympathetic face
then it’s there i’ll plant my seeds and make my home

i spent a day dreaming of dying in valencia, california
where all the green of life had turned to ash
and i felt i was on fire with the things i could've told you
i just assumed that you eventually would ask
and i wouldn’t have to bring up my so badly broken heart
and all those months i just wanted to sleep
and though spring it did come slowly, i guess it did its part
my heart has thawed and continues to beat

i visited my sister on the outskirts of los angeles
where the suburbs and the city become one
and we talked about our childhood like a dream we were convinced of
that perfect peaceful street where we came from
and i know she heard me strumming all those sad and simple chords
as i sat inside my room so long ago
and it hurts that she's still aching from those secrets that were told
by a car closed up too tight and a heart turned cold

and i went to san francisco, the birthplace of the movement
and i watched the people dance under the moon
and there was a girl i knew there, one more potential lover
i guess that something’s gotta happen soon
cuz i know i can’t keep living in this dead or dying dream
and as i walked through the castro and drank with her
i thought about my true love, the one i really need
with eyes that burn so bright they make me pure

they make me pure, they make me pure; i long to be with you
