saudadeyou're so cool / far away. "off the grid" / sometimes I feel like I have you so close that you'll never leave (again)

floodhands gripping the icy cold steering wheel / so hard my palms are numb / passing the bus stop, the street we used to take to get to your house

falling fastDriving away from the city lights / I watch them as they disappear and I'm wringing my cold, damp hands between my knees / Loud music and the sound of your voice, rising and falling

Million Miles AwayThe leather boots I had to break in, / Rubbing my skin raw / The skirt I was wearing,

remember thisi never want you to forget the day we went to the beach last summer. The sun was setting and we shared your towel on the sand. Snuggled in our favourite way like we were the only people on earth. And then we listened to your iPod together. To the song that makes me cry. You were singing and I was laughing but then we were quiet and we just listened. I was so in love with you that day. I cut my foot on a rock and it hurt so bad. It bled and you were worried. You put a Band-Aid over it and I held onto your shoulder. We walked to Lick's but walking was hard but I didn't care. I was so happy. So in love with you that day. We ate our burgers on the second floor and I told you I thought I looked ugly. You held my hands in your hands and you stared into my eyes until my cheeks turned red. Until I smiled. I looked out of the window. The view was so beautiful. We stayed on the streetcar until it was dark outside. I held my arm out and felt the breeze. We talked about all of the places we wanted to go someday. How I always wanted to be by the beach. Never go home. Never leave you. You had your arm around me. Almost, I fell asleep. Such a warm feeling in my heart. Almost, I wanted to hug you so tight and cry. Tell you that you are everything. You have given me everything I could ever want. Instead I watched the world pass us by. The low brick buildings and the neon lights. Languages I will never understand. That day will always be with me. I will never forget. Please never forget. So we can hold onto it and share it with each other when things aren't so right. / Don't let go of it / I love you

some placessometimes there are these places in my head / I can see them so clearly just like the raindrops on my windowpane / they are faraway places
