Valparaiso

(back) (listen / download)

So less is more (more or less)
That’s the basic deal I guess
Can’t make a snowball without snow
Can’t see the roof from down below

Went out to pick the hollyhocks
Slid down the hallway in my socks
Gave everything I owned away
Got me the moxy just to say

That I don’t feel right without you love
So let’s take all night to dispose of
Anything that gets in our way
Anyone who don’t like what we say
We can trade the halos for the pesos if we say so
This is Valparaiso

Pretty please with cherry bombs on top
Let me hold your hand in the coffee shop
Everyone is speaking on the sly
Every whisper we both occupy

What if there were purpose in my knees
And a diamond begging to say please
Show your heart and soul on your cotton sleeve
Show me how to dance honey I believe

This city almost lived the day you took me home
Our fingers to our lips tonight we’ll both be gone
Small wonder we should find your Honda safely holds
Four thumbs three maps two hearts one circle made of gold
