lyrics

I tore through the closet for my beach blankets
Before I remembered where they are
I was too numb to walk on the night things ended
So I left them lying in your car
I highly doubt you'll need them down in SoCal
But I kinda hope you'll keep them anyway
’Cause I still haven't sent back the novels you lent me
Or even read the final page

I guess I’m holding onto all you gave to me
Ashes, ashes singing clear
Something good is gone
Something good was here
Our better angels warned us early on
One day we’d reach a bitter end
If I could turn back time
I'd choose to make the same mistake again

When I close both my eyes it’s the end of July
Going up 99 with you behind the wheel
Hoping to spend our last week building fires by the beach
Holding hands to memorize how it feels
You say you’d like to lay our love to rest cleanly
If we walk away, the sparks will fade with time
I guess this is what I signed up for, before I really knew you
Not a clue what I’d be leaving behind

’Cause now I’m… (chorus)

Wildfires raging in the sky above
Giant sequoias burning back into dust
And I began to wonder, will the soul of this love
Take some other form when time is up?

I recall that we stayed in a Fresno motel
Because the lake was up in smoke too thick to breathe
That night I saw your face backwards in the bathroom mirror
Like a stranger staring straight through me
As we headed back south, you kept your eyes on the road
And I knew I’d never be the same if I tried
’Cause whether we were a forest that burned, or just a strange wrong turn
You'll be part of me for all my life

And I’ll be… (chorus)

If I could turn back time
I'd choose to make the same mistake again
