Matt Taylor - Tequila Sunshine

Third track from Matt Taylor's 'Introducing... [EP]'.

Lyrics:

Oh this simple life we're living is boring me to tears
I've been waiting for god-send now, for far too many years
I've been wandering the streets,
Wearing the hat you used to wear
When we were alone, in the bedroom
Now the photographs are all that's left
A memory laid down to rest
A tribute, to the ones I used to know so well
The faces that I miss

Oh this world is falling down
And you can't understand me now
No one here can lead us through the maze

Oh the pressure that I'm feeling was locked inside a draw
But the heavy weight from times of late
Has broken down the door
You were drunk and I was too
You said goodbye, I took a chance and followed you
Do you remember
Lying naked on my bed all day
The hours seemed to slip away
Remember
When you far away across the sea
The simple life we used to lead

She left me by the traffic lights
You found me just the same
And all the songs I write about that night
Never help to clear my brain
This cryptic code to revelry
The naive view of how our lives were meant to be
But now I'm haunted
By the way you used to bite your lip
And close an eye in every pic(ture)
Haunted
By the tattoo just below your sleeve
The day you wouldn't let me leave

Never could you hope to see
How hollow was I meant to feel tonight?
We spied eyes through silver sheets
Remembered what it meant to be alive
Never could you hope to learn
Your flame was hot and destined to burn bright
Hopeless in a sea of flesh
Granted presence in your special light

To be honest with darling
It was never meant to last
You were all that filled my present
Now your buried in the past
I surrendered all I knew
Just for the chance
To spend the week alone with you
And in the summer
Took a trip back home to forget you
My skin turned brown, my blood turned blue
In the summer
Never got a call or letter through
This fickle heart has paid it's dues

Oh this life is over now
When we would both shake up the town
Tequila sunshine glistening through the day
