lyrics

I closed my eyes for quite a while
Slept halfway through July
And logged my dreams in water color paints
I kicked the shakes out to the curb
Cleaned up, went out and found a girl
Who makes me wonder about myself
And it felt like raindrops on my cheeks
Wondering whether tongue-in-cheeks
Had left me stranded feeling good
And it felt good

I think I better decide, I think I better decide
I let down my guard
Thought long and hard

I'm working harder than before
To turn my oceans into snow
To cool my head
In freezers far, far away
They're singing songs about the nights we spent alone
In this photograph you're eating corn right off the cob along this highway in Chiang Mai
It winds off and up to cooler air and a view of the city

I think I better decide, I think I better decide
I let down my guard
Thought long and hard
But that was then and this is now

I think I better decide, I think I better decide
I let down my guard
Thought long and hard
But that was then and this is now
