lyrics

I've been in this house before
we drank too much wine
cutting chords and writing rhymes
we showed each other how to shine

how it felt so alive
as we died on the page
two minds aligned
when somebody new
shot straight across your sky

and we were just day-drinking
not over-thinking
the sun was sinking
on your front porch
now you're kicking up dust
the music feels rushed
i try to adjust
you're starstruck again

look at all we created
still she's playing the big stages
life, it runs in phases
we made it easy
uncomplicated

and we were just day-drinking
not over-thinking
the sun was sinking
on your front porch
now you're kicking up dust
the music feels rushed
i try to adjust
you're starstruck again

it won't work that way
to gather up gold dust
and then throw it away
that's not how it works
melody makers
energy shakers
simpler times
and we were just fine

and we were just day-drinking
not over-thinking
the sun was sinking
on your front porch
now you're kicking up dust
the music feels rushed
i try to adjust
you're starstruck again
