[01:12.59]I drove up to the city at night
[01:14.73]And found the place where you grew up
[01:18.16]And then where you stayed
[01:19.73]And then we walked around
[01:21.31]And stayed up late
[01:22.89]Under city lights
[01:24.36]And I spent the night
[01:25.89]Next to you in the house
[01:27.89]Where you grew up
[01:29.34]Next to you I miraculously woke up
[01:32.53]In your parents' house
[01:33.80]I lied in bed with you
[01:37.78]I went back to feel alone there
[01:44.42]I went back to wipe it clean
[01:50.45]I took the lights and radio towers
[01:53.77]Out of my dreams
[01:57.26]We went all the way up to
[01:58.81]The small town where I'm from
[02:00.92]With foggy air
[02:02.19]And the wind
[02:03.22]And the mountain top
[02:04.26]And we clung to rocks
[02:05.94]And we looked off
[02:07.54]You held my hand
[02:09.00]You almost got to start feeling me
[02:12.09]I finally felt like I was breathing free
[02:16.16]And under swaying trees
[02:17.57]We fell asleep and had the same dream
[02:20.55]The stars were bright
[02:21.49]We dream the same every night
[02:23.31]On my island home
[02:25.21]I spent some time with you
[02:28.86]I went back to feel alone there
[02:35.52]I went back there by myself
[02:41.91]And gave up on everything that we'd felt
[02:48.11]We found a precious place in the sand
[02:50.32]Right out in the wind
[02:51.70]And lied under a blanket
[02:53.70]And heard the furious sound
[02:55.15]The roar of waves
[02:55.98]The pounding surf
[02:56.50]Two bodies on the earth:
[02:58.32]It was intense just getting
[02:59.79]To be there next to you
[03:05.83]And you were trying to get me then
[03:09.40]And I was happy let you in
[03:13.40]I went back and wished I hadn't
[03:19.89]I went back and felt regret
[03:26.16]I went to the beach and I stared west
[03:39.08]Every night when the sun went down
[03:41.49]In the town where we live
[03:43.00]The empty streets were lit up
[03:44.63]By reflected light
[03:45.99]From a distant sun
[03:47.66]Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
[03:51.44]We just lied on the roof and watched
[03:55.73]The moon
[03:58.58]The moon
[04:00.12]The blue light of the moon
[04:01.45]We didn't talk and silently
[04:03.50]We both felt powerful
[04:07.16]Like the moon my chest was full
[04:11.27]Because we both knew
[04:12.07]We're just floating
[04:12.81]In the same space over molten rock
[04:15.54]And we felt safe and discovered
[04:17.19]That our skin is soft
[04:18.79]There's nothing left except certain death
[04:21.68]And that was comforting under the moon
[04:30.58]I went out last night to forget that
[04:36.92]I went out and stared it down
[04:43.18]But the moon just stared back at me
[04:49.88]And in it's light I saw
[04:51.30]My two feet on the ground
