lyrics

The shuttle door closes & a pre-recorded voice says "Please Hold On"
The hills, the lights, the butterflies go by in a blur like a roller coaster
And I'm an ugly tourist once again, solo mission in the Mission to meet some friends
The air across the bay's cold like your hands but your heart seems colder

And I'm the clown that's locked behind the gate
My +1's an empty dinner plate
Wedding bells ring-ringing in my head
Reminders & an echo of a life that I once led

Driving down the PCH I got brave in my thoughts
When I got your message I thought you'd want to talk
I climbed up on the dunes & I looked out to the beach
The beauty of the ocean & my longing made me weak

I wished you were there but I never sent the letter
You were in the Granite State dancing with your new lover

Alice is asleep & she's sighing next to me
But all I can see is your face when you turned to leave
I thought that I would find who I was meant to be
But you can't spell "wine country" without "ennui"
