Pastel Pink Skies

Did you see the sunset today?
On the west side of LA
Pastel pink skies keep you from me
I can't blame you, they're so pretty
Your voice so sweet on the phone
To say all the right things, you know
But words can't keep me warm, not really
On this cold night in the valley

What are we to each other?
Your father's son, my mother's daughter
Been alone for so long
Walls and calluses are strong
We forgot how to belong to someone
We both needed a lighthouse
But we faded like those dead flowеrs
Tried to hold on so tight
Prayed a kiss could make us right
If wе were honest
We were lost for some time

Your cigarettes litter the floor
My baggage blocking the door
I tiptoed around the edge of it
And you hid your ghosts in a closet
Tried to memorize the way that you laugh
And your hand on the small of my back
But things went unsaid and ate us alive
Wonder where we'd be if we got it right

What are we to each other?
Your father's son, my mother's daughter
Been alone for so long
Walls and calluses are strong
We forgot how to belong to someone
We both needed a lighthouse
But we faded like those dead flowers
Tried to hold on so tight
Prayed a kiss could make us right
If we were honest
We were lost for some time
Some time
We were lost for some time
Tried to memorize the way that you laugh
And your hand on the small of my back

Did you see the sunset today?
On the west side of LA
Pastel pink skies keep you from me
I can't blame you, they're so pretty

What are we to each other?
Your father's son, my mother's daughter
Been alone for so long
Walls and calluses are strong
We forgot how to belong to someone
We both needed a lighthouse
But we faded like those dead flowers
Tried to hold on so tight
Prayed a kiss could make us right
If we were honest
We were lost for some time
Some time
