Take me west
Take me to my home
Take me to the mountains of San Diego
Teach me hymns to lull the demons
Teach me psalms of the days of old

Sometimes, when the weather changes tune
… the stars taste of nostalgia

And sometimes I think about you too

Seasons change the dress code
This is a sea of weathered hearts and captives
The glass above the hopeful,
… the shelter from the storm
… is the reason for the latest sunrise
The boulevard has been abandoned
I’m praying now you’ll be the ring I won’t forget to wear

Let’s keep this origami dream alive
These midnight eyes have grown accustomed to the way we live

Just maybe, when the storm has come to an end
… we will take up arms again

And sometimes when the weather changes paths
I hope, someday, you’ll find your own way back

And sometimes
+ I’ve found my house of blue
+ I cannot taste the rain
+ I think about you too when the weather chases bloom
