I was darkened by the sin

A wasted hour closing in on a lovely day

I got up before the freeway

I got up and set my clock

The river up the street and down the block got faster

And I wished I got the nerve to ask her what she thought

About why Portland skies are grey

Will you want to see it every day

When you know there's kids starving in Alaska for the sun?

By the way, can I come?

I swear I won't be a burden

Eight o'clock came cruel today

Can we just lie here instead of leaving?

You and me and Kye had tea there in the kitchen and I was cold

I got up and got my coat

Kissed you three times and winged it home

With a smile wider than my arms could stretch in E minor

And don't go

I could know you better I know

And the photo booth memory's a ghost

Japanese stickers, a toast

To how I could kiss you every mile of the west coast

So Julie, Julie, Jules, can I have a whiskey?

'Cause she got in a car and she never came home

Hello all my friends, can I have a whiskey?

'Cause I won't drive far anyway

Not since I have to go home that way

By the scene of the getaway, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Geography and biology (Hey, hey, hey)

Just basically don't mesh for me... (Hey, hey, hey)

Hey, hey, hey
