Café Amarillo Lyrics
[Verse]
Ooh, my love, I remember
Waking up to the sound of your voice
Digitized and destroyed
I was halfway to Calais from Dover
When the word had finally come over
Thought we said never again?
Ooh, my love, I can't believe
The headline crawls across the screen
I couldn't fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's raining on both ends of the phone
You're in the lobby and I'm on my way home
But there's no shelter without you there
[Chorus]
Some things are so simple
They're impossible to explain
The Café Amarillo
Stay dry when you're caught in the rain
We're caught in the rain
[Bridge]
I don't want to die before I learn to live
Looking for my exits
Still so bad at making plans I plan to keep
How long has it been?
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's raining on both ends of the phone
You're in the lobby and I'm on my way home
But there's no shelter without you there
[Chorus]
Some things are so simple
They're impossible to explain
You can't un-pull (Surely not) a trigger
Or stay dry when you're caught in the rain, we're caught in the rain
[Outro]
I long for when the sun was in our eyes
One day, forever, the sun in our eyes

The seed for this song first came together on a writing trip we took to Mexico where we were able to write and rehearse as a full band basically outdoors. Unfortunately once we brought it into Shawn’s studio, we weren’t really feeling it. So a few of us switched instruments — Nik on keys and myself...
