Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Found a picture on a shelf Back when I was someone else Crumpled edges, 2012 Ringing like a silver bell Thrifted flannel, faded blue Smells like cedar, looks like you Smallest acts of being kind Are the ones I always find [Chorus] Across the ocean, half a world Where the flags are all unfurled I’m sitting in the kitchen light Thinking ‘bout that summer night We didn’t say much, did we then? Just two boys who’d meet again [Verse] Gas station coffee, lukewarm cups Waiting for the sun to come up You fixed my tire in the rain Never heard you once complain The Lydian moon was hanging low Nowhere special left to go [Chorus] Across the ocean, half a world Where the flags are all unfurled I’m sitting in the kitchen light Thinking ‘bout that summer night We didn’t say much, did we then? Just two boys who’d meet again [Bridge] The piano’s muted, keys are soft Dust is dancing in the loft Quiet healing takes its time Like a slow and steady climb Ordinary days were best Putting all the noise to rest [Verse] I wonder if you kept that map Folded in your winter cap The Polaroid is back in place A ghost of a familiar face I’ll wear the flannel for a while And try to find that old-school smile The world is wide and far apart But you’re still etched into my heart [Chorus] Across the ocean, half a world Where the flags are all unfurled I’m sitting in the kitchen light Thinking ‘bout that summer night We didn’t say much, did we then? Just two boys who’d meet again [Post-Chorus] Twelve years gone The light is on Twelve years gone Till the dawn [Outro]
