I've got a love, glistens in the moonlight
G D Em7
East side of the city where it's a little less bright

And I don't usually fall hard but this time
G D Em7
I'm burning up like bare feet on concrete in the summertime
C G
When it was our time. We go hand in hand
D Em7
And fell asleep with the stars and the waves on the sand
C G
Felt like another land, that I would never understand
D
Getting dizzy in my head
Em7 C
But it came to a halt, within a minute or two, when
G D Em7
Your time was up, your motherland, she was calling for you

I've been thinking about the days to come, we'll lay in the sun
D
Waking up late for the coffee run and

A couple words that are sitting on the tip of my tongue

But all I know is that it's you Honey that I adore and

Right hands got a ticket to fly over the Pacific and you wouldn't want to miss it

I'll sneak some of your love in checked baggage below
C
And I don't really know, how long it's gonna take
G D Em7
For this world of ours to clean up its mistakes
