There's no time for true love with a stranger
The bottles are full of old memories and pressed anger
A new friend thinks he can get you into his bed
But you fall asleep staring at the rising sun
While his cat is in your arms, he's trying to get close.
But you won't let him in your head
It's 5 a.m.
His beard is a birds nest and his room is too cold

You're taking it slow, getting to know the new guys
Being a friend to all the musicians around town
They treat you kind,
And there's no crossing lines.

The new world I am in
Is filled with liars and cheats
Kissing you on a lonely Wednesday night
Leaving you in the late morning
With a coffee and a guilty conscience
It's when you don't talk for weeks
And you see him again at the bar with the 3D sign
He leaves, he's across the country chasing other skirts
He can't make up his mind
But his long hair gave you comfort
And his sweet talks kept you company
But the tans are now fading and the nights are getting longer
Now the seasons are changing, the leaves are falling
The game is now in your hands and the waves are crashing
You look him in the eyes and say goodbye
You're so much better off without those bad boy blue eyes.

You find yourself in another city
Feeling inspired with a friend
A pretty bird with a smile
You find a bar
Where typewriters are on the wall
And pages from books make up the wallpaper
Gin and mezcal
Passionfruit and cherries
The Pet Shop is open
Filled with the opposite ***
Everyone wants to get to know you
Get in your head like the words in a book
Making plans for road trips
And future apartments
Iceland and Nashville
Go before it's too late.
