I am stuck in L.A through the week, and can?t get away And you?re alone on the pier in West Palm Beach on your holiday Stormy nights re-awake the stomachache that I?ve acquired From feeling down, things look grim and I?m so sick, of being tired Apartment lights go dark, and it?s depressing but what can I do? Midnight streets feel dead, when I am so used to driving with you Brighter lights fill the nights and bluer skies reflect in your eyes As I inspect and analyze all these dreams I don?t recognize If you?re still up when the ships in the port, prepare to set sail Comb the beach and put those blue flowers up in your ponytail Inside my head your voice is still resounding but what can I do? The empty rooms feel cold when I am so used to being with you Count the stars, watch the waves, absorb the summer sun and think of me When you explore hidden coves and tiny island chains throughout the sea Can you still hear my voice when I?m outside from over the phone? For what its worth darling dear, I wish you were here ?cause I feel alone When you were home, wed sing but since you?ve left I don?t hear anything And though I feel so sad I can?t believe things are really that bad Old captains and brand new cruise ships Sailing over the briny sea When I crash my beloved desk job And swim through the debris I?ll cut loose and leave this madhouse Bound for the Atlantic blue I?ll stroll down your tree-lined driveway And sail the ocean with you

    General Comment:I think this is about a guy who's on a business trip to L.A. from West Palm Beach who misses his girlfriend, on like a holiday weekend even. I love the beat and the synths at the end.

    General Comment:This song is has a catchy beat, but analysing the lyrics show that its a really depressing lyrics. He misses this girl a lot, whos on vacation somewhere. Everything reminds him of her, but he cant do anything about it, and everything is different to him without her so he feels lonely. The end is about him getting sick of it And trying to get to her
    the only thing i dont like about the song is the name, bc it doesnt sum up the song like most of his others do, but what can i do?

    General Comment:I see it as a legitimatly sad song. He misses his girl so much, that nothing he does is the same. From driving the streets at night, to simply being alone in his appartment.
