I drove up to the city at night
And found the place where you grew up
And then where you stayed
And then we walked around and stayed up late
Under city lights, and I spent the night
Next to you in the house where you grew up
Next to you, I miraculously woke up
In your parents' house I lied in bed with you
I went back to feel alone there
I went back to wipe it clean
I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams
And we went all the way up to the small town where I'm from
With foggy air and the wind and the mountain tops
And we clung to rocks and we looked off
You held my hand, you almost got to start feeling me
I finally felt like I was breathing free
And under swaying trees, we fell asleep and had the same dream
The stars were bright, we dream the same every night
On my island home I spent some time with you
I went back to feel alone there
I went back there by myself
And gave up on everything that we'd felt
We found a precious place in the sand
Right out in the wind, and we lied under a blanket
And heard the furious sound
The roar of waves, the pounding surf
Two bodies on the earth
It was intense just getting to be there next to you
And you were trying to get me then
And I was happy to let you in
I went back and wished I hadn't
I went back and felt regret
I went to the beach and I stared west

death do us apart
