Montecito

We take the old road
Down to Montecito
And it's so cold
We let no air between us
I pray no one has seen us
My alibi is paper thin
And if they dig

There's something in the air
We're arsonists who love our work
Who should have known those embers would flare
But if we burn the world down you won't care

Now I'm on my own road
Too far to visit you in Montecito
You can't keep calling me
I fall in love with every ring
I should never have let you get this close

It was a million years ago
And I can't fix the man I was, but I had to let you know
That you were everything I need
But I was just too blind to see
And you just too smart to speak

Smash cut to Chicago
Tender Zephyr blowing on the down-low
Moselle and North Ionia
I know your mother warned you
Don't want to be complicit but you missed it

Early morning flight
Tender Zephyr kept me up all night
Her perfume on her skin
I swear I'll never bathe again

It was a million years ago
And I can't fix the man I was, but I had to let you know
That you were everything I need
But I was just too blind to see
And you just too smart to speak

Summer shorter by the day
We felt so free in Newport Back Bay
But the birds belt out alarms
We gotta talk about self-harm
But you laugh and take my arm
