Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Left turn at the lighthouse sign Dusty dash and the white line Radio humming a surf-rock tune Found a town in the afternoon Salt air sweet in the heat Parked the car on a dead-end street Baskets full of the morning vine Everything feels like a design [Pre-Chorus] I was chasing a golden ghost Driving hard to the edge of the coast Looking for a spark in the dark Now I’m standing by the park Maybe I was lost all along Singing a much too heavy song [Chorus] Hey, is that really you? Back under skies of bright blue Sun-warmed awnings and organic fruit Finding the gold in the quiet root I’ve been running for way too long When the easy joy was a simple song Yeah, the easy joy was a simple song [Post-Chorus] Under the awning New day is dawning Yeah, it’s you and me Right by the sea [Break] [Verse] You were stacking up the crates Handwritten signs on the garden gates I haven’t seen that smile in years Laughter ringing in my ears Glockenspiel in the breeze Talking 'bout our ABCs Time stopped in the market square With the sunlight in your hair [Pre-Chorus] Thought the map had a grand design To make the whole world finally mine But the engine started to stall And I’m glad I heard the call Maybe I was lost all along Singing a much too heavy song [Chorus] Hey, is that really you? Back under skies of bright blue Sun-warmed awnings and organic fruit Finding the gold in the quiet root I’ve been running for way too long When the easy joy was a simple song Yeah, the easy joy was a simple song [Bridge] Cross-country dreams in the rearview mirror Everything’s starting to feel much clearer Don’t need the lights or the city noise Just the weight of these ordinary joys Strawberry stains on our fingertips A brand new story on our lips No more miles left to prove I like the way we move [Build-up] (Snare rolls hitting loud) (Guitar arpeggios spinning round) (Glockenspiel high and bright) (Everything is feeling right) [Chorus] Hey, is that really you? Back under skies of bright blue Sun-warmed awnings and organic fruit Finding the gold in the quiet root I’ve been running for way too long When the easy joy was a simple song Yeah, the easy joy was a simple song [Post-Chorus] Under the awning New day is dawning Yeah, it’s you and me Right by the sea [Outro]
