[Verse 1]

90 down I-5

Early morning rain, changing tides

Once red, the hills rust

Miles and miles of orchards and dust

[Chorus]

My mind is on the memory of lilac and gin

Carried through time on the wings of the wind

Black as obsidian

Lilac and gin

[Verse 2]

Like longing and danger

You and I are nowhere near strangers

Twisted around fig trees

Ropes and twigs of lost memories

[Chorus]

My mind is on the memory of honey and dirt

Crumbling before me, handfuls of earth

No gold could be worth

This honey and dirt

[Bridge]

It's hard not to choke on the billowing smoke

From the love I throw on the fire

It's warmth in my lungs and it burns like the sun

And that's all my breaking rеquires

It's hard not to laugh at the aftermath

Truth likе confetti in the air

A little on your cheek and in your hair

A little bit more temperance

Than you or I could bear
