lyrics

Driving out the same way you came in
The place was basically kindling
Vintage wood filled with oxygen

Breathing in the wake of a dream
Falling ash it seems
We should leave before our lungs get diseased

The view of the bay will always
Float the attic in the back of my brain

Waking up in a house you technically own
Where you fled the smoke
Right before the staging company sold

Creepy shine of the realty agent's face
Was it all a mistake?
Showing your girl the place that she'd come of age?

The view of the bay
I will always remember feeling so wholly amazed
That you could create heaven
In your family and the life that you made

Watching your home light
Standing in file on the freeway up on high
Watching in stunned quiet
I was thinking I could move
I could not if I tried
