lyrics

A still mind finds me
Only between buildings
At night
A pea coat and black hat
The air is beautiful cold
This time

I always notice the brilliant red
of the taillights of the car ahead of mine
And I love this city with all of my might
and my head and my heart combined

An anxious mind now rooted to the ground
Parting clouds of certain certainty
It's good to know that I can stick around
What I'd give to be eight again

The crosswalk tells me to wait
And I do
I don't mind waiting for you
This sidewalk is home
This city is home

I always notice the brilliant red
of the taillights of the car ahead of mine
And I love this city with all of my might
and my head and my heart combined

An anxious mind now rooted to the ground
Parting clouds of certain certainty
It's good to know that I can stick around
What I'd give to be eight again

Oxidized lion painted over green
Sidewalk over a tunnel and the cars below me
Bright neon light reflected off brick and pavement
The sunset and bench where I asked you if we were a thing
