Dried Out Cities

Someone to watch over me

I couldn't ask you for more

Why do I long to be free

But cry when you walk out the door?

You got me goin' round like a record now

I wanna show my love but I don't know how

I know that I'm a mess but I pray you'll stick around

Take me to your downtown rivers

And your dried-out cities

I could compromise my rhythm

So we both go slow

Take me to your tree tops, growing up

In your dried-out cities

If you get my heart it will never stop

But we'll both go slow

Lovers get lost in the sky

Gone in a blink of an eye

Let's make our own legacy

Chiseled in stone we will be

You got me goin' round like a record playin'

It's comin' over me like a sudden wave

I know that I'm a mess but I hope that you will stay

Take me to your downtown rivers

And your dried-out cities

I could compromise my rhythm

So we both go slow

Take me to your tree tops, growing up

In your dried-out cities

If you get my heart it will never stop

But we'll both go slow

Take me to your downtown rivers

Turn me to a sea of shivers

Everything I see is clearer when the lights are low

Take me to your dried-out cities

Everything you see is pretty

I could see it all through your eyes

Like they're my own

Take me to your downtown rivers

And your dried-out cities

I could compromise my rhythm

So we both go slow

Take me to your tree tops, growing up

In your dried-out cities

If you get my heart it will never stop

But we'll both go slow
