lyrics

Woke up with your hair in my face
Bright morning light streaming like a cascade
You’re half asleep while you trace your fingers around my thigh
Hannah, do you think we could stay a few more minutes?
Hannah, I think you forgot to shut the blinds

If I’d convinced you to stay in the city, would we have had a chance?
New apartment south of Seattle
We could pretend we know how to slow dance
Around the boxes underneath the quiet glow of broken lampshades
And you look to me and to the street
Shake your head, take my hand, Hannah

Hannah, you’d take me to the backyard
Behind the Japanese maple tree
Use your left hand to pull me closer
Right hand on my cheek
In the city, we’d sit on the fire escape
Cheap wine, legs off the edge
Your hand is resting on my knee
Hardened eyes, you’re always on the fence
(You’re always on the fence)

If I’d convinced you to stay in the city, would we have had a chance?
New apartment south of Seattle
We could pretend we know how to slow dance
Around the boxes underneath the quiet glow of broken lampshades
And you look to me and to the street
Shake your head, take my hand, Hannah

So Hannah took me to San Francisco
Where she showed me Pacific Heights
“Bet you couldn’t race me across the street,” she said
Blinking through the flashing lights
I wrote a letter under a different name, it got lost in the mail
Now every word sounds the same
And every day just feels stale

(If I’d convinced you to stay in the city, would we have had a chance?)

If I’d convinced you to stay in the city, do you think you’d just resent
The new apartment south of Seattle
While we pretend we know how to slow dance
Around the boxes underneath the quiet glow of broken lampshades
And you look to me and to the street
Shake your head, take my hand Hannah
