Close It Down

Your voice is an echo of the voices in my mind
You’re talking low and laughing on the wrong side of the line
Take me back to way last June when summer made us high
Do you remember why?

The midnight sun was beating down on everyone but us
See I got a chill that I can’t shake, and I think it’s from your touch
I’m waiting for the clocks to turn so the sun won’t blind my eyes
Do you remember why?

I’m not the first one in this town to come under your spell
You come on strong and stick around and you think you mean well
And if I got the wrong idea then I apologize
And I remember why

I remember in a late night taxi
Back seat, blurry, city lights go by me
Your hand’s on my knee, but it means nothing
I know it means nothing

You want to take me out tonight, you want to buy the round
Bourbon by the bottle, you want to close it down
But when the last call lights come up you go home to your wife
And you remember why
