Romance Dawn - 17 Days Lyrics

Always trying to keep that west coast feel inside
Always questioning what am I doing with my life?
But it feels so right
I lay freezed as I watch an orange grow
I've been quiet but I got so much more to show

In my dreams I would show my intentions
But I use to wake before the action
I fought sleep the very night I got to lay here next to you
You're a cracking wave in an open window

I miss the sound of San Diego
And I'm stuck here till daylight
In downtown LA like
Would she ever care?
I'm so scared

I went out to see the sunset at the palms
Skated downtown to see the gaslamp and some bars
What can I do to still block out all the dark
Got so much to tell you but I don't know where to start

Years back in '04
I would've taken my guts and a guitar right in front of your door
I wouldn't have cared if it rained
A hundred scratches on wood and fingers bloodstained
Your window kept black but still I had it all
The dream of the bloom of my suburban home
Then I wake from this daydream on the top of this state
17 days here but 15 years late

And your magic appearance distracts me
And your reflection in tones of yellow and purple in the cool water affects me
The mess in your hair always gets me
A glimpse and a smile and I'm curing
And goddamn she's so f*ckin' alluring
Then the night closes in with the last few rays of light
A new romance in black and white

Hey S
I wonder where you are
I wonder what you do
I wonder what you wear
All that you've been through
But you're not here
You're not here

Hey S
You didn't come
You stayed at home
Where you don't belong
Down in L.A.
That's where you stayed
You are a city light
And I am calling you
But it's too late
