lyrics

Rita

it's always so nostalgic
looking out the window
and it's almost tragic
watching all the land go by
too fast to catch the eye

A road trip on my birthday
suddenly i see
i’m sitting so still it feels like
the whole world in front of me goes by
i’ve lost my sense of time

these colors
kiss my eyes like lovers
i’ve gone just like you told me
but still somehow you hold me
oh rita
when i sleep i see us
when i wake i reach for you beside me
you’re gone now i can't find me

back in massachusetts
and the light is different here
When night falls i see all the stars
the sky is always clear
somehow
the world is quiet now

but still my mind it wanders
still i taste my fears
i miss you like my home
like I have been away for years.
your song
was playing all along

colliding
land and light im fighting
how i feel about you
how i’m lost without you
oh rita
when i sleep i see us
when i wake i reach for you beside me
you're gone now i can't find me

there's freedom in my solitude
then again there's always you
knocking like the wind at my door
im taking time and giving space
still it’s like we're face to face
i’m not sure what all this is for

the truth is
i can't breathe can't do this
i wish i didn't need you
but everywhere i see you
oh rita
when i sleep i see us
when i wake i reach for you beside me
you're gone now i can't find me

oh rita
rita, rita, rita, rita
