I cut corners on the carpets now

I danced quarters on the windowsill

The summer left me to a different fate

This drastic urge will take some time to find its weight



I run head on into traffic in the afternoon

I log the longest miles alone at night inside my room

Where all directions lead right back to me

All my ambitions swim like driftwood through

My dark sea of sleep



And it'll take some time 

Yeah it'll take some time but the dawn will come

Yeah the tide will rise



Her eyes swelled up in the bars soft lights

I drank and watched her laugh

And then we sang loud in the dying streets

And I was so drunk 

My heart floated like a feather in the breeze

I got so high off all the blinking lights

The colors painted in the night

	

Midsummer Classic blue and gold

Our City casts its shadow

The kettle boil heads for a roll

Sundowning's never getting old

And underneath this crooked moon

I can smell the night begin to bloom

The northern wind will change again

And my geography will bend back and forth

Across the map until I reach the end

Back and forth across the map until I reach the end

And it'll take some time

Yeah it'll take some time

But the dawn will come

Yeah the tide will rise

Yeah
