Local Natives – Cafe Amarillo lyrics
[Verse]
Oh my love, I remember
Waking up to the sound of your thoughts
Digitized and destroyed
I was halfway to Calais from Dover
When the word had finally come over
Thought we said never again?

Ooh my love, can't believe
The headline crawls across the screen
I couldn't fall asleep

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's raining on both ends of the phone
You're in the lobby and I'm on my way home
But there's no shelter without you there

[Chorus]
Some things are so simple
They're impossible to explain
The Café Amarillo
Stay dry when you're caught in the rain, we're caught in the rain

[Bridge]
I don't wanna die before I learn to live
Looking for my exits
Still so bad at making plans I plan to keep
How long has it been?

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's raining on both ends of the phone
You're in the lobby and I'm on my way home
But there's no shelter without you there

[Chorus]
Some things are so simple
They're impossible to explain
You can't run, pull a trigger
Or stay dry when you're caught in the rain, we're caught in the rain

[Outro]
I long for when the sun was in our eyes
One day, forever, the sun in our eyes
