lyrics

take me back to London
take me to the rain
take me to the station
cleaner than i came

you know that i love you
but it will never be the same
the next time that we come back
your face will have a different sheen

take me back to London
runnin to the shows, runnin to the train,
runnin up the escalator of my brain
the Shard in the dark
the smell of the ocean at Brighton
soft-core fighting
in the Indian restaurant

O has got a lot of nerve
ya gotta admire her
for going all in for art

you know that i love you
but it will never be the same
the next time that we come back
your face will have a different sheen

and why'd i gotta hold on
to everything so tightly
a fantasy of Preludes alludes me
nightly

O has got a lot of nerve
ya gotta admire her
for going all in for art

while you're smoking on the balcony
dancing in the park...

back to California
drier than the plains
longing for the greenery
the feeling of the possibility of change

is it just novelty?
or is it something in the air?
the musicality
of dialects spoken foreign to the ear

smoking on the balcony
dancing in the park...
