Papaya Lyrics

You woke me up this morning, 'cause I slept through my alarms

And you were right beside me, and the night sky over us

Still bleary-eyed, you drove us, to a quiet beach, in Boca

We sat shivering by the waters, as we held each other close

Eating slices of papaya, as we watched the world rise

Streamed the clouds pink and orange, washing through our eyes

We watched while people walked their dogs, and rose to take the day

Then hit the road with two-hundred-sixty miles left to make

I see every ray of sunlight on your skin

See the rivers, trees, and valleys by your side

I see your eyes, I see the light, the promise and bliss, but I can't look anymore

No, I can't look anymore

And I see that drive up Seventy-five, in pictures of you and I

Our next stop in St. Petersburg, hungry and drenched in sweat

Walked in tiny shiny streets, in the shadows of millionaires

Then drove to Fort de Soto, dipped our toes, chased fish in shoals

Familias con sus pequeñitos bailaron atrás de nos

See the sunlight dancing on your velvet skin

See your body framed by the waters of Mexico

I see your eyes, I see the life, the promise and bliss, but I can't look anymore

And I see that drive up Seventy-five

In pictures of you and I

Our last stop on the west side, found ourselves cold again

I smoked a bowl, you stroked my arm, we sat back for the show

The sun said its goodbyes as it sank into the sky

Left a trail of glory, holy crimson, burned into our sights
