early morning, autumn light.
whitewashed walls and children playing.
the air is still, i smell the bakery.
lying here in last night's clothes,
mexican girls in sunday dresses
fill the sidewalks up guerrero street.
save me, i get lost so easy.
c'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl.
the rains came, turned all the hills green,
turned the dirt to flowers, birthday girl.
just because you learn to breathe
underwater doesn't mean
you ever shake
the fear of being drowned.
between the sparks
and junkyard thoughts,
the things i stole,
the things i lost,
you could
build a city
in my head.
save me, i get lost so easy.
c'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl.
the rains came, turned all the hills green,
turned my dirt to flowers, birthday girl.
i don't know what to do
once this gets started.
i never meant to be so
broken-hearted.
save me, i get lost so easy.
turn my dirt to flowers, birthday girl.
whitewashed walls and children playing.
the air is still, i smell the bakery.
lying here in last night's clothes,
mexican girls in sunday dresses
fill the sidewalks up guerrero street.
save me, i get lost so easy.
c'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl.
