Carter Vail

‘Pontiac (Lyrics): 

 

You leaned in closer

I should have kissed you then

Your hair was longer

I pulled away from it

And moved to the city

Over the Tappan Zee Bridge

You like the colors

I can’t see anything


I’ll be your coffee

I’ll be your poster child

Walking like Jesus

When all the stores are closed

You think of drowning

Out in your parents pool

The water’s freezing

It was September


I think I know you

I was here before the start of the storm

It’s all around you now you’re coming back home

Now you’re coming back


You own that glimmer

I should have told you then

Now more than ever

The broken pieces fit

Scars and confetti

Sawmill and pontiac clips

You kept Valhalla

I still want everything


I’ll be your sweater

You be my wailing wall

Fighting like Ghandi

When all the lines are down

You dream of flying

Over the Zuiderzee

The sky was yellow

I still remember


I think I know you

I was here before the start of the storm

It’s all around you now you’re coming back home

Now you coming back

I think I know you

We were here before the start of the storm

It’s all around us now we’re coming back home
