Chinatown

I heard it’s cold in New York, so bring your coat

Cherry, your body, I’ll cherish every word that chokes up in your throat

Baby, you look like diamond skies

Your collarbone’s Orion’s belt

I’ll think of this night when I’m missing California down in Chinatown

I wonder if you still think of me at all

But you were never one to think much

You’re swimming in his t-shirt

And I’m still swimming in your touch

Though you’re with another guy having the time of your life

I’ll keep this prom night in my mind so we dance when I close my eyes

Can you feel it inside your bones?

Can you hear mine break through the phone?

You stroll the streets like a ghost, hiding in that overcoat

I should have never told you it’s cold in New York

I wonder if you still think of me at all

But you were never one to think much

You’re swimming in his t-shirt

And I’m still swimming in your touch

I know I need to let go, I’m holding onto the west coast

Baby, I’m cursed by the sea

And California’s haunting me
