You said, “Let’s drive past the canyon”
Ash on your lips, sun in your stare
I wore your sweater, it smelled like silence
But I didn’t care

You move like a ghost in slow motion
Pull me close, then leave me open

Eastern Embankment, da-da-da
You got me swaying like a fever, la-la-la
Eastern Embankment, da-da-da
Your love’s a whisper I can’t outrun

TV glow on your cigarette fingers
Your name written in the steam
I hum your song into the mirror
But nothing’s what it seems

You burn like a dream in the static
I forget, but it’s automatic

Eastern Embankment, da-da-da
You got me drowning in your rhythm, la-la-la
Eastern Embankment, da-da-da
Your kiss is velvet on my tongue

And I fade into your silhouette
Like smoke in the ocean air
You’re the song I can’t forget
But you were never really there

Eastern Embankment… da-da-da
Eastern Embankment… la-la-la
Just a dream I can’t outrun
