Jacob Leger - Vancouver Lyrics

Vancouver always leaves you laughing
At the wonder and the blister of an evening
And I swear that I could see the feeling
When the sun caught on the smoke
And the light came melting, pouring down the boulevard
Won't you let me know when you're back this way
And I'll mark it on the wall
And we'll get to know time before we kill it
Or autumn might just kill us all
There's nothing to compare to
So I don't regret the trouble
I've got no ceiling to go back to
But there's frescos in the rubble
Oh the whole world is a picture frame
And I don't want to set it right
In the morning we could leave this city
In a cluster of cars upon the freeway
Drive up to where the mountains are bleeding
And I could almost smell your hair
As we crested the rise, cutting through the passes
But the drive is long and the coffee's cold
The feeling's lost in the coming home
The drive is long and the coffee's cold
The feeling's lost in the coming home
There's nothing to compare to
So I don't regret the trouble
I've got no ceiling to go back to
But there's frescos in the ruble
Oh the whole world is a picture frame
And I don't want to set it right
Stinger in the honeycomb
Or a flicker in the light
How I went out dancing alone
On a beer-can night
Well it always hurts the worst
Just before she makes it alright
Cause the whole world is a picture frame
And I just wanna set it right
