late at night before the sun rises
there’s a place where the ocean and the sky collide
turned down low, old pop songs on the radio
we’ll wait to see what color the light will be
and you answered my own question
before I even knew it
forgive my first impression
and you’ll see me through it
I’ve come so far late nights smelling smoke and cigars
mixed with salt spray and wondering where you are
will you go or wait so I’m not here alone
and stay with me to see what color the light will be
and you answered my own question
before I even knew it
forgive my first impression
and you’ll see me through it
over seas and streams and railroad tracks and roads
through the doorway of every house I’ve known
you’ve carried me home
I’ve carried you home
and you answered my own question
before I even knew it
forgive my first impression
you’ve seen me through it
