Lavender Sky

Lake Michigan
Wind in your hair
Feeling like home
Taste the salt in the air
I took a Polaroid
Of you cracking a smile
Something that I hadn't seen for a while

You light a cigarette
Your mind on the past
Musing about how nothing ever lasts
You make a joke about
How we're all gonna die
Preach your nihilist bullshit
Then you start to cry

We kept
Our lightning in the bottle
We drove
Down the road at full throttle
We read
Like a really good novel
Now we won't turn the page

Ooooo it's gone
In the blink of an eye
Under lavender sky
Ooooo it's gone
In the blink of an eye
Under lavender sky

Ooooo
Yeahhh
Ooooo

We try to back it up
To where it feels safe
Back to the castle that you and I made
But the locks have changed
And your smile fades
Look around
And I don't
Recognize this place

We kept
Our lightning in the bottle
We drove
Down the road at full throttle
We read
Like a really good novel
Now we won't turn the page

Ooooo it's gone
In the blink of an eye
Under lavender sky
Ooooo it's gone
In the blink of an eye
Under lavender sky

It's dead and gone, it's time to leave it all behind
I surrender to the ending of the story line

Ooooo it's gone
In the blink of an eye
Under lavender sky
Ooooo it's gone, gone, gone
In the blink of an eye
Under lavender sky
