I cut corners on the carpets now
I dance quarters on the windowsill
The summer left me to a different fate
This drastic urge will take some time to find its way
I run head on into traffic in the afternoon
I log the longest miles alone at night inside my room
Where all directions lead right back to me
All my ambitions swim like driftwood through my dark sea of sleep
And it will take some time
Yeah it'll take some time
But the dawn will come
Yeah the tide will rise
Her eyes swelled up in the bars soft lights
I drank and watched her laugh
And then we sang loud in the dying streets
And I was so drunk my heart floated like a feather in the breeze
I got so high off all the blinking lights
The colors painted in the night
Midsummer Classic blue and gold
The city casts its shadow
The kettle boil heads for a roll
Sundownings never getting old
And underneath this crooked moon
I can smell the night begin to bloom
The northern wind will change again
Then my geography will bend
Back and forth across the map until I reach the end
Back and forth across the map until I reach the end
And it'll take some time
Yeah it'll take some time
But the dawn will come
Yeah the tide will rise
Yeah
