I spring awake and the flames lick at my heels I fall and freeze in sentiments I've grappled with for years Like how I'll give up everything for what I love to do And how it all means nothing if it isn't all for you, old friend I slam my fucking head into the wall again Before you go, promise you'll commit my bones To the salty sand and stone on the gulf of mexico And when the tide rises to baptize the shore Let the wind take me home via Albuquerque low. We sat and smoked on a speeding midnight train I arrived and mourned the fact that she would come and go again Hung up on the cities that we both wanted to leave Speaking slow and somber like we liked the taste of air between our teeth We watched the sun come up and faced reality Crack your windows on sleepless summer nights You will hear me on the passing ocean breeze As it softly carries me
