Lost Coast - Rosebud Lyrics

You wrote in cursive, I was figures on a cave wall
Amidst the napalm, forests grew from dry lakes
Christ's sake, I was shaking in my boots, but I knew
I somehow knew that it was you
Everything I've ever wanted right in front of me
Roller coaster turbulent surge, salutations
Suddenly, the only piece to ever fit found me
Oh, how astounding

I had no choice
(A tumbleweed in the wind)
I needed a voice
(Met with reconnaissance)
But now I realize
(And the majesty of)
What I needed was yours
What I need is you

My heart asleep 2, 000 miles away from me, waiting patiently
"So, how was your birthday"?
I hate to say it but distance is an occupational hazard
Oh, how I wished it mattered
My Alabama from the northeast side
Each time I was seaside, We'd lie
To ourselves thinking it would be so much easier this time

Now free-feeling
(A tumbleweed in the wind)
Of all I'm seeing
(Met with reconnaissance)
But of course I miss you; I miss your soul
(And the majesty of)
Time is so unfortunate
(So unfortunate)

My rosebud wilting somewhere in the Xanadu
Effervescent gloom, my own private panic room
So lame to say it, but darkness seems a robe best fit
When you focus on the glow beyond the exit
My Dora Maar, please forgive the inconsistencies
Your soul, a symphony
Somersault epiphany
Please brave these sour times that keep drying out our faith

Just turn and walk away from me
This is what we chose to do with our lives
So, this is our goodbye for now

But we fear what is yet to be seen
And we'll learn how to love through a screen
