As our city melts Draining my thoughts It's no surprise i'm still inside Holding my breath I'm not breathing at all I called you twice this week Smoking on the balcony This time last year We were in bahia Eating the fruits of the trees we climbed It tasted so good As out city melts We leave the ones that kept us warm Winter's like that in determining things Spring is a mother who has just given birth Who has just given birth To the first child she let Swim from the shore of her island Who tested the water But is now swimming back I watch the yard go green From night to noon From envy It's no surprise i'm still inside Drinking the sun off these dusty floors Through an old window pane The sounds were softer then Your skin a tambourine Your love's a tempo i could keep The songs that covered us Were never rushed Your love's a tempo i could keep.
