lyrics

I am stuck in L.A. through the week and can't get away
And you're alone on the pier in West Palm Beach on your holiday
Stormy nights re-awake the stomach ache
That I've acquired from feeling down
Things look grim and I'm so sick of being tired

Apartment lights go dark and it's depressing
But what can I do?
The midnight streets feel dead
When I am so used to driving with you

Brighter lights fill the nights
And bluer skies reflect in your eyes
As I inspect and analyze
All of these dreams I don't recognize
If you're still up when the ships in the port prepare to set sail
Comb the beach and put those blue flowers up in your ponytail
[Chorus]
Inside my head your voice is still resounding
But what can I do?
The empty rooms feel cold
When I am so used to being with you

Count the stars, watch the waves, absorb the summer sun and think of me
When you explore hidden coves and tiny island chains throughout the sea
Can you still hear my voice
When I'm outside, from over the phone?
For what it's worth, darling dear
I wish you were here, 'cause I feel alone

When you were home, we'd sing
But since you've left I don't hear anything
And though I feel so sad
I can't believe things are really that bad

Old captains and brand new cruise ships
Sailing over the briny sea
When I crashed my beloved desk job
And swim through the debris
I'll cut loose and leave this mad house
Bound for the Atlantic blue
I'll stroll down your tree-lined driveway
And sail the ocean with you

4EverfreeBrony's "Lost & Found" is a fantastic album. Cheerful, and with each song fitting together while still having distinct styles, it comes together really well as an album. Absolutely worth listening to. Kamani
