Halfway between the sailboat marinas
Found haven in what I thought I knew was true
‘Cause when it’s near 90 speed on the freeway
The road goes from green to gray to blue

‘Cause August came fast
Rodeo dashing again
You, with that laugh
Violet snapback in my hands

Lay me down slowly in the cabin of your ship
Great deep swells take you out into the abyss
‘Cause you left me there swaying with no navigation
Somewhere out there in the blue
You take care, see my flares
I’ll call for you

Pass Pasadena, the skyline was greener
Left pagеs in your notebook folded back
My heels clip the watеr, chain on your collar
The walks go from orange to red to black

‘Cause August came fast
Rodeo dashing again
You, with that laugh
Violet snapback in my hands

Lay me down slowly in the cabin of your ship
Great deep swells take you out into the abyss
‘Cause you left me there swaying with no navigation
Somewhere out there in the blue
You take care, see my flares
I’ll call for you

Saw you in the paper up in skyscrapers
While I manned your ship on my own
Your silhouette faded, so calculated
Backseat with some bitch that I know
September came fast
Rodeo closes again
You, with that laugh
Dirt that I wiped off your hands

Lay me down slowly in the cabin of your ship
Great deep swells take me out into the abyss
‘Cause you left me there swaying with no navigation
Somewhere out there in the blue
You take care, see my flares
I’ll call for you

Hey, um, I made it to Catalina
Just call me when you get here
K, bye
