[Verse 1]
Sleeping in cheap hotels, filled up with oyster shells
We don't get overwhelmed, the window panes make shelves
Evening paints out the sky, guest list is satisfied
Bright crimson floating high from Snap's electric eyes
Streets are like coffee pots, they'll never stop us, watch
Hang gliding to the docks, red lights we never walk
Get stung by jellyfish, an open-ended ditch
Of anything, we'd miss the scale of the Brooklyn Bridge
[Chorus]
Night lights, beach houses, awkward decisions
That leave us on top of the moon
August is endless and I am so friendless
We'll leave and they won't have a clue
Drive-by sightings, you think that they'll find us?
It's not hard to trust me, alright?
August is endless and I am so friendless
We're leaving the city tonight
[Verse 2]
Sugar dissolves our well, feel like we've never felt
Win contests never held, we'll make ideas melt
High tide is rolling in, so we step back a bit
Creatures become our friends, let go of fear again
Reasoning poltergeist, aquamarine in white
Guess we don't sleep at night, let's change this tired life
Echoes of solitude, these walls are talking too
Chasing the afternoons on Sunset Avenue
[Chorus]
Night lights, beach houses, awkward decisions
That leave us on top of the moon
August is endless and I am so friendless
We'll leave and they won't have a clue
Drive-by sightings, you think that they'll find us?
It's not hard to trust me, alright?
August is endless and I am so friendless
We're leaving the city tonight
[Verse 3]
Question the answers, they don't matter
Throw them all right out the door
Switch direction for protection
'Cause we're not running anymore
These changing autumn leaves
Are filling me with everything I need
To open up a subtle circuitry and bring me to my knees
We're searching alleyways
To find out where the end is, at the start
It's not a shallow place
It's leading to the same one as my heart
We'll take a trolley down
And hopefully the coast is looking clear
Cause if it's not we'll have to sit a bit and wait right here
This kite is crashing down
The ground is rising up, and I am torn
Between the canopies of falling trees and ozone, but I swore
If we were ever to imagine, it would be a different scene
Only if you can distinguish what I meant from what I mean
[Chorus]
Night lights, beach houses, awkward decisions
That leave us on top of the moon
August is endless and I am so friendless
We'll leave and they won't have a clue
Drive-by sightings, you think that they'll find us?
It's not hard to trust me, alright?
August is endless and I am so friendless
We're leaving the city tonight
