Elysian

I kissed a man who bought a bracelet two months in
I later gave the bracelet to my mom
And she told me of a partner who bought red roses 'til her heart hurt
She said, "Sweets, remember – that's not love"

I sought a man who sought some meaning overseas
My wandering mind couldn't help but be intrigued
So I tried my best to follow 'til my tired heart went hollow
And I missed my simple California sheets

Oh I can live without the diamonds and the roses
The beauty's as fleeting as my dreams
Won't you believe me, love, I'm dying for the moment
I'm just hoping that you wanna die with me

Now you're a man who will find meaning in the fog
And watch it roll away at 6AM
Then you'll grab that beat guitar
Same one we played with in that yard
First night we leaned a little more than friends

I always liked the way you made my chest feel
And still hate when you say you have to go
I fear you think I'm looking for Elysian
When I just want some harmonies down this road

Oh I can live without the diamonds and the roses
The beauty's as fleeting as my dreams
Won't you believe me, love, I'm dying for the moment
I'm just hoping that you wanna die with me

So here we are, same stars, different yard
You've asked me if LA is feeling small
Oh the earnest in your eyes keeps me from shaking you alive
So I rest your hand upon my tired heart

We could try to hold the starlight in our pockets
We could try to let it tell us where to go
But our many nights have showed me
You will never try to hold me
You'll just love me down our foggy pine-paved road

Oh I can live without the diamonds and the roses
The beauty's just as fleeting as my dreams
Won't you believe me love, I'm dying for the moment
I'm just hoping that you wanna die with me
I'm just hoping that you wanna die with me
I'm hoping that you wanna die with me
