lyrics

dreamboat baby I’m out the door
wishing in the wind and
fishing on a stone floor two stall garage
building a bong 17 summers long

Jose man can you see me
I’m as young as ill ever be
but am I just a mirage?
an odd collage of settling debris?

oh Melanie
I lose my cool when I look at you
there’s no melody no rhythm
I'm stuck there I'm frozen
oh Melanie
oh Melanie

stone dead black nights
if I dig down deep to where the roots are alive
I see someone else cop my pose only 9 summers ago
Joe felt good but kind of strange
standing under all that rain
but was she just a mirage?
an odd collage of static and red shame?

oh Melanie
I lose my cool when I look at you
there’s no melody no rhythm
I'm stuck there I'm frozen
oh Melanie
oh Melanie

shine my brightest days
sunshine don’t go away
want you in the worst way
sunshine don’t go

dreamboat baby I’m a live wire
lemonade whiskey frisky by the fire
plucked out seeds shrugged off time 17 summers am I

Joe felt strange but kinda blue
standing under her bright moon
but was she just a mirage in a two stall garage?
in a fishbowl in her room?

oh Melanie
I lose my cool when I look at you
there’s no melody no rhythm
I'm stuck there I'm frozen
oh Melanie
oh Melanie
