War On Drugs (The)

Buenos Aires Beach
My barricades feel open nowSo I leave behind the bridgeWith a flag with a western wave and a simple stitch to fix I'll hold myself together now as you take me through the ditchWhere the sky crumbled on the floors You'll sweep me off of my backYou'll save me from the rumble you spoke of before And the one who saved you Ain't the one who you were banking onWhen your highs were cutting through my lowsEnter through the side door pleaseI know you wish to speak with meOf old neglected promises Of stolen souvenirsHow you could hear the ocean But you could not see the breezeWhen the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beachAnd the sun was shining on the one I wish to seeAnd the fates are shifting under landYou're beating on the floorsYou're sleeping on the same ones you've been sweeping onYou're the one that saved meAnd the one that I was banking on When your highs were cutting through my lowsLetras de cancionesSo hold me up against the tree You used to measure me in feetAnd set your sights to greenAnd all the cross-town boys and onThey show up with the sea shells in their eyesBut you know what they wantBy the glow of your skinAnd you can overdress for himBut it will soon grow oldAnd this winter it came to pass So much slower than the lastAnd now there's nothing left to graspIn our hands and nothing left to catchSo they'll speak of the past In the future perfect tenseOf places we will goBefore we grow old From Letras Mania
