The carnival lights danced up, out, and over the seawall. This town hasn't changed since the last time found us here. We walked the long way to the gates. We walked the long way to give the conversation time.
At first glance it seems as if everything's the same.
Until smaller details focus in, and we're struggling just to remember the names.
From the top of this Ferris wheel I wonder, "What's kept me keeping this distance with nothing less than selfishness? Was I really running from the heat? Because I found the coldest retreat."
We stared out and across the bay.
I wish I had something to say.
We spent all this time trying to make it fit.
We spent all of this time, just trying to make it fit.
But, these dirty streets and Mexican heat took its wear.
Dirty streets and Mexican heat took its wear on me.
We stared out and across the bay.
I wish I had something to say.
You knew just what to say.
