Learning to Relax Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wanna take a ride

I like it when you drive with me

I've got nowhere to go or show you

Just take me out of my mind

I wanna see the lights

Coming towards us with my glasses off

Soft dots drifting by in darkness

Just take me out of my mind



[Chorus]

You arrived

A soft slow end of time

Saying if all we saw were bright lights

Darkness is what we'd try to find



[Verse 2]

I wanna hear your voice

Like the trees behind this restaurant

You can see them through that roofless building

That was once somebody's home



I really like this photograph

When did you feel the pattern form?

You're starting to engulf inside me

Even when I'm not alone



[Chorus]

You arrived

A soft slow end of time

Saying if all we saw were bright lights

Darkness is what we'd try to find



[Verse 3]

Your eyes tell me I'm still alive

And no matter what else happens

It's perfect when you're right by my side



Lasso the gold, I don't own a pistol

I hope there's no time to wish that I did

Turn off the lights, and turn into crystals

Close all the roads and don't have a fit
