Lyrics

She went off like a firework in the sunset
packed up in a flash and hit the road
made it all the way to California yesterday
Back in Indiana i’m alone

Alexandra
i can see you walking backwards
as the sun sets
on the cliffs of palos verdes
where the world ends
You’ll begin to find the answers
as the ocean meets the land
close your eyes feel the sand
And I’ll remember Alexandra if i can

she rents out a studio in Venice
Headlines down at Trip on Friday nights
Every now and then she writes a song about the end
At least I like to think someday she might

Alexandra
i can see you walking backwards
as the sun sets
on the cliffs of palos verdes
where the world ends
You’ll begin to find the answers
as the ocean meets the land
close your eyes feel the sand
And I’ll remember Alexandra if i can

yesterday i dreamt i saw you singing
Lonely on the streets of Hollywood
nobody really heard, so I tried to memorize the words
But Alex you were gone before i could

And I woke up searching for that fallen faded sorrow
Then I closed my eyes and I tried to dive back in
‘Cause sometimes all we need is a reminder that we bleed
To make us feel like we’re alive again

Alexandra
i can see you walking backwards
as the sun sets
on the cliffs of palos verdes
where the world ends
You’ll begin to find the answers
as the ocean meets the land
close your eyes feel the sand
And I’ll remember Alexandra if i can
