Acoustic On Main

Blu Honey

rockish

It's been a long week 
Straight from city street to summer heat 
and now I'm sitting looking at the sea 

And I'm suspended 
I know the season always ends 
and I wondering how to keep that spark in me 

Because it slipped under my fingers when it stole my breath 
It caught me in my tracks and now I can't look back 
And I'm terrified to find that maybe New York wasn't mine 
I'm just a jealous stranger begging for its time 

And we were so hot with the promise of more 
Crowded into yellow taxicabs not knowing what we went there for 
But we had drinks in our blood 
A blue pulse in our veins 
and we were thirsty for change 

[chorus] 
I fell asleep by the light of a skyline 
that didn't pretend to know me at all 
I stitched myself into its gridlike fabric 
and now that I've had it 
I can't seem to shake it now 

I stole a new pulse 
Memorized a thousand faces 
and I felt the sidewalk scream beneath my feet 

I would wake up 
to crooked limbs wrapped up in mine 
and know the nights left were fleeting 
but god, they were sweet 

I'm aching for something to shock my bones 
Because the state of not knowing still feels like home 
We couldn't see stars so we soaked up the sky 
Drank power by day and whiskey by night 

And we were so hot from our toes to our tongues 
Well we had gold around our wrists and electric blue in our lungs 
and I can't stop 
I can't slow it down 
I've gotten used to this collision course so I'll be back around 

[chorus] 
I fell asleep by the light of a skyline 
that didn't pretend to know me at all 
I stitched myself into its gridlike fabric 
and now that I've had it 
I can't seem to shake it now 

I fell in love with a cold, hard city, yeah 
That made me believe I was more than I am 
We came from the east and the west and the south 
And I can't seem to shake it, 
I can't seem to shake it now

The first cover I ever attempted, back in 2007 or 2008? I grew up loving this song and wanted to do it with an 80's rock vibe.
