lyrics

1. City Life
Written By Matthew Ryan
Copyright Plastic Violin 2009

City life
Rain and on the street
I'd crawl back home
If I thought she was asleep
The way we were
That soft & perfect kiss
Summer ends
& it comes down to this

Marianne
We're in the blizzard now
We're the dream
& fate's trying to be the plow
You gotta fight
With all the light
In your skull
We've come too far
To lay down by the side of the road

August one
My head was full of junk
You see in time
A cruel pollution comes
She didn't cry
Until I opened up my mouth
We're headed north
But my god this feels south
My God this feels south

I miss your smile
I miss the way you'd move
Before all this
Before so much to lose
My eyes aglow
& on the fire escape
Why's it get so quiet
When there's so much to say?

I want that feel
Like a plane when it arrives
Where at the gate
Family waits with quiet smiles
And all is pure
With a bright sense of relief
I can trust you love
If you can trust me
If you can trust me
