Lyrics

Long ago, summer 1982
We take a trip out to the sand
It gets cold in the desert at night
We climb in the back of your van.

I sit by while you pop in a cassette
The soundtrack of wasted moonlight
You sit there and smoke a cigarette
the only thing to ignite

Fog on the window, clouds in reverse
kinda like misty poetry
This isn’t going like I’d rehearsed
only one name on the marquee

CHORUS:
I’m waiting for you all night long
I thought I wrote the script
I lean in and you lean out
away from that nicotine kiss.
Away from that Nicotine Kiss


BRIDGE:
Let’s play musical chairs
With all of our faults
Into the wounds
We pour the salt.
You don’t have to be afraid
I wasn’t gonna stay
And neither of us really needs new friends.


CHORUS
I’m waiting for you all night long
I thought I wrote the script
I lean in and you lean out
Away from that nicotine kiss.
