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
