lyrics

Woke up around 2am in a hotel bed
Through the car windows, the moonlight bled
Driving through the early morning fog once again
Down to the airport to see a long lost friend

Took her out for coffee and we talked for a while
And we kissed, hugged and laughed as we said goodbye
Driving back to the hotel, I thought about what we said
And falling back asleep, I wondered if i'd see her again

I carry my lover to the edge of the city
Where people drown to serve and the weather's not as shitty
We'll drag each other across the street, then onto the subway
Staring out the window and waiting for some rain

And I know there's no sun behind those clouds
And nothing is out to get me now
I feel warm when you're by my side
And nothing is out to change my mind

She says she misses San Francisco and I miss Seattle
Because the haze of the morning makes my mind a little less addled
And even when I think I clearly, I still can't see the light
I'm just blindly catching snowflakes drifting through the night

But I know there's no sun behind those clouds
And nobody's out to get me now
I feel safe when you stay by my side
And no hand could ever break yours from mine

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, UH-NA-NEE-NA-NA-NA-NUHH, DUH-DUH-DOO-DUH-DUH

All the time, at every stretch
I see still people in moving images
And as I go, it's plain to see
There's no one down there waiting for me

Down in NYC

And that's reality...
