Lake Washington Boulevard

My love, where I come from
A kiss and a goodbye are the same thing
Come with me, I'll take you where
Solitude is a more beautiful gift than a rose

He was the son of train delays
That made mom and dad meet
She was beautiful as the darkest sky
Looking for the meaning of life in bars

They pretended to be in a cheesy movie
Because there life never seems hard
And instead here in this damn province
It takes courage even to be afraid

My love, where I come from
A kiss and a goodbye are the same thing
Come with me, I'll take you where
Solitude is a more beautiful gift than a rose

Loving me, you know, I don't know if it's worth it
I miss you and you know why: Because you don't aim well
You'll hear a shot in the distance
Then the sound of an ambulance and I won't be there anymore

They made love in Morse code
At night on the roof of a studio apartment
To send a message to the aliens
After all, we men aren't so bad either

One day he asked her: Darling, will you marry me?
With a ring in hand and a forced smile
She really thought about it for a minute or two
Then she said: No, but let's go get ice cream

My love, where I come from
A kiss and a goodbye are the same thing
Come with me, I'll take you where
Solitude is a more beautiful gift than a rose

Loving me, you know, I don't know if it's worth it
I miss you and you know why: Because you don't aim well
You'll hear a shot in the distance
Then the sound of an ambulance and I won't be there anymore

When the investigators arrived
They asked her what had happened
And she said she didn't know anything
Then she said: I'm going out, I'm going to get ice cream
