lyrics

Coyote blood stains the 101
With my eyes on the road and my headlights on
Swear I'm gonna stay ahead as long as I can
But every new day’s a day closer to gone

As the sun burns down the powder blue sky
The past floods in I can't shake it from my mind
We drove through the valley all the way down south
With boxes stacked high we had it all figured out

And I can't wait to tell you, Its ok, it's ok
Well maybe it's too little too late
But we couldn't have it any other way
But I would, if I could, so I'm holding my breath and I'm gonna make it through
Bought a little house painted powder blue

It's a heavy wind on the Altamont Pass
So keep I keep my head low and my foot on the gas
Since I let you go I've been sinking in doubt
But I've been trying really hard to dig myself out

As the moonlight shines down the mountainside
It's your silver tone image framed in my mind
You've been riding high since you gave me up
I've been in and out of love several times since us

And I can' t wait to tell you, It's ok, it's ok
I can see it in the furrow of your brow
On the faces that are looking you up and down
I see you can't see me
Well I wish we could run and jump around
Like we used to do when we owned this town
But I would, if I could, so I'm holding my breath and I'm gonna make it through
Bought a little house painted powder blue

Do you take your long walks through the sycamore grove
Like you claim you used to do all on your own
I hear your penny loafers dragging heel to toe
But hand in hand is not alone

Well you can't wait to tell me, It's too late, it's too late
Something better has taken my place, It's ok, It's ok
You wouldn't have it any other way
But I would, if I could, so I'm holding my breath and I'm gonna make it through
Bought a little house painted powder blue
It's just a couple doors down the street from you

about

Oceanography image

Oceanography Oakland, California

Oceanography is the solo project of Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Kelly. He brings a unique pop sensibility to bittersweet songs of heartbreak, loss, and longing, recalling at times The War on Drugs, My Morning Jacket, and Damien Jurado. His literary eye for detail and deceptively powerful voice create moments of catharsis and beauty amid the bleak and mundane. ... more
