You In January
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Goddamn, you look holy hit from behind with light
You're a painting of a saint
And I'm nervous stumbling over my lines
When I tell you I love you
And we stare at catalina
A city lost to the sea
Carried out by the tide
You were the one thing I got right
Goddamn, you look holy
Bathed in the january light
On the floor of our new bedroom
On the carpet with the window opened wide
And when you tell me you love me
I can actually see it
Your breath frozen in the air
Newborn droplets of ice
You were the one thing I got right
I'm measuring heartbeats in miles away
You held me together. I used to burst and decay
We got off the airplane, a couple of runaways
I was hoping you'd stay
Could you stay?
You were the obvious one
From a taxicab in chelsea
Out past salvation mountain
You were the obvious one
From a walk along the highline
Out to wicker park in august
You were the obvious one
From your upper-east side dorm room
To the southwest marin headlands
With you smiling in the sand
Goddamn, I hate leaving
Another early flight
I ran the dishwasher this morning
I wanted there to be clean plates for you tonight
I've grown used to your perfume
It hangs in the morning light
Wake me up before you leave for work
And kiss me goodbye
You were the one thing I got right
I'm measuring heartbeats in miles away
You held me together. I used to burst and decay
We got off the airplane, a couple of runaways
I was hoping you'd stay
Could you stay?
I'm measuring heartbeats in miles away
You held me together. I used to burst and decay
We got off the airplane, a couple of runaways
I'm glad that you stayed
