Sun-Bleached Frames

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain taps on the tin roof
Inside I find the proof
In a box of faded blue
Everything I once knew
The engine hums a low tune
Under a coastal afternoon
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust on the dashboard glass
Watching the seasons pass
I see the boy I used to be
Searching for a way to be free
[Chorus]
It’s in the wrong turns we took
Like pages in an unwritten book
The coffee spilled on the map
The quiet nap in nature's lap
Those detours led me right here
Making the blurry vision clear
Oh, the gold is in the delay
In the light of a rainy day
[Verse]
Twenty-two in the salt air
Wind blowing through my hair
We didn't have a solid plan
Living in this rusted van
The broken radiator hiss
Was a blessing I didn't miss
[Chorus]
It’s in the wrong turns we took
Like pages in an unwritten book
The coffee spilled on the map
The quiet nap in nature's lap
Those detours led me right here
Making the blurry vision clear
Oh, the gold is in the delay
In the light of a rainy day
[Bridge]
Wurlitzer keys soft and low
Watching the gray tide flow
The Hammond organ starts to swell
A story only these frames can tell
Stacked harmonies rise like the sea
Bringing the peace back to me
[Verse]
I thought I was lost back then
Counting miles with a ballpoint pen
But every flat tire on the road
Lightened the heavy heavy load
Now the sun breaks through the mist
A life that I’m glad exists
[Chorus]
It’s in the wrong turns we took
Like pages in an unwritten book
The coffee spilled on the map
The quiet nap in nature's lap
Those detours led me right here
Making the blurry vision clear
Oh, the gold is in the delay
In the light of a rainy day
[Outro]
