VERSE 1
High rise, veins of the avenue
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue.
Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you.
Street lights glisten on the boulevard.
And cold nights make staying alert so hard.
For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard.
Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay.
Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away?
VERSE 2
Small town hearts of the New Year
Brought down by gravity crystal clear.
City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier.
Make hast, I feel your heartbeat
With new taste for speed, out on the street.
Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet.
The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow.
The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know.
CHORUS
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
And tell me when it rains
And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you
And shoot it through your veins.
Cause your heart has a lack of color.
And we should’ve known
That we’d grow up sooner or later
Cause we wasted all our free time alone.
INTERLUDE 1
(if you want to fingerpick the melody too, it's...)
VERSE 3
Your nerves gather with the altitude
Exhale the stress so you don’t come unglued.
Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood.
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far away
VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
A popular gauge will measure the range of the new Post-Modern Age.
()
Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align.
BRIDGE
We were the crashing whitecaps.
On the ocean (on the ocean).
What a lovely seaside holiday, away.
A palm tree in Christmas lights.
My emotion.
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone.
As we spent the day alone.
INTERLUDE 2
Repeat CHORUS
ENDING
(for C & Am, you can play the INTERLUDE 1 alternate chords if you so desire)
That's all! Nice little song, I'd say. The first part in the bridge is my
favorite part so I had to sit down and figure it out. Enjoy!
