carlsbad Lyrics

Spent too much time hitting rewind

On some old VHS tapes

It's a long way to the ocean

It's a long way back from the sea

And the illusions have all disappeared

Revealing nothing underneath

And it's a long way back from everything

A long way back to what I can't see

But I'm not going back

I'm a radio signal

Hovering above the Adirondacks

But I'm not going back

I'm a radio signal

Hovering above the Adirondacks

Lost in a city I don't know

Where the sky don't even show

Tried to watch the stars come out at night

They like to hide

They like to hide

Looked for something that looked like you

Even though that's what I don't wanna see

But it's a short way to the ocean from here

With a dead sky hanging over me

But I'm not going back

I'm a satellite

Hanging over Carlsbad

But I'm not going back

I'm a satellite

Hanging over Carlsbad
