lyrics

Park outside the locked gate
Jump at a flash, they probably jumped too
Hope the cops don’t pick today
Get lost in the lot in the blue of the moon

Reach the sand and run in
My friends dip their wicks into cans of fuel
Dancers watching dancing
No sickly orange lamps to light our skins like a bruise

And I think about if you were here how it would be cool
Shadows jumping sharp and clean as if carved with a tool
Laughing with me in the dark
Afraid of getting caught
But knowing they won’t find us in the dunes

Away from fire’s glow and heat
Look up see stars wrapped in a band of cocoons
I see it when you tell me
Why you care about these planets and how they all move

Queue a song you played once
Lay down on the beach listen on a single loop
You text me that you’re jealous
Won’t tell you how I feel, but I’m jealous too

And I think about if you were here how it would be cool
Moonlight rounding out your face turning our eyes into pools
Laughing with me in the dark
Afraid of getting caught
But knowing that they won’t find us in the dunes

You tell me you’re there with him
Tryna get what I got with just you two
The clouds cast over all dim
Could joke that’s why you need me there but I never do

Long exposures in December
It’s been years on this shore but I think of you
Shivering I press the shutter
All the best photographs have no one else in the view

And I think about if you were here how it would be cool
Wind sanding down our skin till it gets all numb and smooth
Laughing with me in the dark
Afraid of getting caught
But knowing that they won’t find us in the dunes
