A place in the city a chair and a bed
I cover all the mirrors I can’t face myself yet
Smoke clings to me like a wedding veil
I cook for one step into the crowd alone in a sea
It hits me all at once I’m missing you
The weight of your absence in all we used to do
It haunts the quiet fills the space
A love I can’t erase
MDMA in the back garden eyes wide with light
We kissed for hours lost in the night
I swore This is the best cigarette of my life
And I still want you just like that
Indio haze a sandstorm swallowing sound
It knocked me over spun me around
Back then I didn’t know you’d never be enough
Since seventeen I gave you all of my love
Now we wake from a dream it slips through our hands
Was that real? Did we ever stand a chance?
What was that baby tell me what was that?
I keep asking but silence is all I have
You’re still with me when I’m out with friends
Painted faces talk pretending trends
You must have known I was fading away
No warmth in your words nothing left to say
Down at Baby’s All Right under blue neon light
I try to face truth give up the fight
I let it pass through or at least I try
But this pain it lingers refuses goodbye
MDMA in the back garden eyes like blown glass
Kissing through hours we wished would last
I said it then This is the best cigarette of my life
And I ache for you just like that night
Indio haze lost in the storm’s embrace
Didn’t know then you’d leave no trace
From seventeen you had all of me
Now we wake from what used to be
What was that? Was it love or just a flash?
‘Cause I want you still I want you just like that
When I’m in the blue light I can make it alright
Tell me baby what was that
