New Mexico
Track 09 · I Was Alive Enough (2020)
I walked out past the edge of where it's safe to stand
And then I heard your voice, and then I felt your hand
Lead me up out of the city, across the mountainside,
To where the foothills meet the desert, to our favorite place to hide
To New Mexico, New Mexico
Where the people think we're pretty and there's turquoise everywhere
Where the wind swirls all around us and the moon reflects your hair
In New Mexico, New Mexico
Kiss me now, but don't keep score,
When I need you less, I want you more
I want you more, I want you more, ah
So I've finally discovered that I'm happiest alone
So now that I've told you, watch me chase you home
To your apartment by the river, to my castle in the sky
And when we need escaping, come join me and we'll fly
To New Mexico, to New Mexico
We'll land in Albuquerque, spend the night in Santa Fe
Set me free, and watch me stay
'Neath the church in the morning, against the cobalt blue
Every hour's worth a lifetime when I'm spending it with you
In New Mexico, In New Mexico
Where the people think we're pretty and there's turquoise everywhere
Where the wind swirls all around us and the moon reflects your hair
In New Mexico
