Bright Eyes - June on the West Coast lyrics
[Bright Eyes - June on the West Coast lyrics]
I spent a week drinking
The sunlight of Winnetka, california
Where they understand the weight
Of human hearts
See, sorrow gets too heavy, and joy
It tends to hold you
The fear that it eventually departs
And the truth is I've been
Dreaming of some tired, tranquil place
Where the weather won't get
Trapped inside my bones
And if all these years of
Searching find one sympathetic face
Then it's there I'll plant these
Seeds and make my home
I spent a day dreaming of dying in Mesa
Arizona
Where all the green of life had turned to ash
And I felt I was on fire with
The things I could have told you
I just assumed that you eventually would ask
And I wouldn't have to bring up
My so badly broken heart
And all those months, I just wanted to sleep
And though spring, it did come slowly
I guess it did it's part
My heart has thawed and continues to beat
And I visited my brother on
The outskirts of Olympia
Where the forest and the water become one
And we talked about our childhood
Like a dream we were convinced of
That perfect
Peaceful street that we came from
And I know he heard me strumming
All those sad and simple chords
As I sat inside my room so long ago
And it hurts that he's still shaking
From those secrets that were told
By a car closed up too tight
And a heart turned cold
And I went to San Diego and
The birthplace of the summer
And watched the ocean dance under the moon
And there was a girl I knew there
One more potential lover
I guess that something's gotta happen soon
'Cause I know I can't keep living
In this dead or dying dream
And as I walked along the
Beach and drank with her
I thought about my true love
The one I really need
With eyes that burn so bright
They make me pure
They make me pure they make me pure
I long to be with you they make me pure
They make me pure i long to be with you
The sunlight of Winnetka, california
Where they understand the weight
Of human hearts
See, sorrow gets too heavy, and joy
It tends to hold you
The fear that it eventually departs
And the truth is I've been
Dreaming of some tired, tranquil place
Where the weather won't get
Trapped inside my bones
And if all these years of
Searching find one sympathetic face
Then it's there I'll plant these
Seeds and make my home
I spent a day dreaming of dying in Mesa
Arizona
Where all the green of life had turned to ash
And I felt I was on fire with
The things I could have told you
I just assumed that you eventually would ask
And I wouldn't have to bring up
My so badly broken heart
And all those months, I just wanted to sleep
And though spring, it did come slowly
I guess it did it's part
My heart has thawed and continues to beat
And I visited my brother on
The outskirts of Olympia
Where the forest and the water become one
And we talked about our childhood
Like a dream we were convinced of

They make me pure they make me pure
I long to be with you they make me pure
They make me pure i long to be with you
