I knew we’d have to say goodnight
on a hillside, bathed in city lights
I waited for you to kiss me
We let the ocean set us afloat
I read the letter that you wrote
It pulled me back to sea
The crack in your windshield gleamed
as it split open freeway beams
I watched them paint you
I waited for the morning light
my eyes burned when you took flight
I’d stretch my love East

It pulled me back to sea
The crack in your windshield gleamed
as it split open freeway beams
I watched them paint you
I waited for the morning light
my eyes burned when you took flight
I’d stretch my love East
