The Key

I am out on a mirror made of water with you
Staring down at the stars from our red canoe
The night opens the windows and throws down her roses
Yellow and pink all scattered below us
The birds are swimming
With the fish in the clouds
Yeah we got the key
That turns the sky upside down

Come up the ladder, come out on the roof
Watch the day walk away with nothing to prove
The sun’s just a whisper now on the pacific
Let’s get back to crying down in your kitchen
Unless we forget
What we were crying about
Yeah we got the key
That turns the day upside down

Whiskey on the rocks and nights on our own
We share the company of everyone who sees the moon alone
But our love is a seed with the devotion of a weed
Pushing like a joke through the cracks in the concrete
And I am here
In the shadow of your doubt
Yeah we got the key
That turns the world upside down
