Phoebe Bridgers
Smoke Signals
[Verse 1]
I went with you up to the place we grew up in
We spent a week in the cold
Just long enough to Walden it with you
Any longer, it would've got old
Singin' "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died
Nothing's changed, L.A.'s alright
Sleepin' in my bed again, gettin' in my head
And then, walk around the reservoir

[Chorus]
(You) You must've been looking for me
Sendin' smoke signals, pelicans circling
Burnin' trash out on the beach

[Verse 2]
One of your eyes is always half-shut
Somethin' happened when you were a kid
I didn't know you then and I'll never understand
Why it feels like I did
"How Soon Is Now" in an 80s sedan
You slept inside of it because your dad
Lived in a campground in the back of a van
You said it creeps you out until you're dead

[Chorus]
(You) You must've been looking for me
Sendin' smoke signals, pelicans circling
Burnin' trash out on the beach
[Verse 3]
I wanna live at the Holiday Inn
Somebody else makes the bed
We'll watch TV while the lights on the street
Put all the stars to death
It's been on my mind since Bowie died
Checkin' out to hide from life
All of our problems, I'm gonna solve 'em
You riding shotgun, speeding 'cause fuck the cops

[Chorus]
(You) You must've been looking for me
Sendin' smoke signals, pelicans circling
Burnin' trash out on the beach, mm

[Verse 4]
I buried a hatchet, it's comin' up lavender
Future's unwritten, the past is a corridor
I'm at the exit, back through the hall
You are anonymous and I am a concrete wall
