Buenos Aires Beach (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken] Thank you, Dominic [Verse 1] Well, my barricades feel open now, so I leave behind the bridge With a flag with a western wave and a simple stitch to fix I'll hold myself together now as you lead me through the ditch Where the sky, it crumbled on the floors You're sleepin' on in my bed You'll save me from the rumble you spoke of before And the one that saved me ain't the one I've been banking on your highs while cutting through my lows [Verse 2] Enter through the side door please, I know you wish to speak to me Of old neglected promises, of stolen souvenirs How you could hear the ocean, but you could not see the breeze When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach And the sun was shining on the one I wish to see And the plates are shifting under land, you're eatin' on the floors You're sweeping up the same ones you've been sleeping on And the one that saved me ain't the one I been banking on your highs while cutting through my lows [Chorus] So, hold me up against the tree You used to measure me in feet And set your sights to green Yeah, and all the crosstown boys, uh huh Yeah, they show up with the seashells in their eyes And you know what they want By the glow of your skin You can overdress for him And it will soon grow old [Verse 3] Well, this winter it came to pass So much slower than the last And now there's nothing left to grasp In our hands and nothing left to catch So, let's speak of the past In the future perfect tense Of places we will go Before we grow old
