lyrics

We fought in the car.
Cus you wanted the beach,
And I didn't know,
Just how much it means,
To get your toes in the sand,
Feel the wind in your hair.
I'm always on blacktop,
Running everywhere.

But these old cobblestones,
Don't let no cars by,
Cus they'd fuck up the roads,
And they'd fuck up the vibe.
As if Venice rose,
Defying the tide.
It is pretty charming.
Like something frozen in time.

But it's violet always.
The light never stops.
Look at them god rays coming off the building tops.
And the look on your face,
When you're finding the frame.
Capture the feeling.
Give it a name.
Chania always,
For us and the strays.

And a shitload of tourists,
Tryna have a good night,
Tryna catch some good light,
Tyrna spend some good drachma,
On some kotsifali wine.
Oh baby, pose for the picture.
I like black and white.
But you've got sepia tone down,
In the electric light.
And we roll down the harbor,
Making everyone smile.
Cus with you it's so easy,
To just be for a while.

But it's violet always.
The light never stops.
Look at them god rays coming off the building tops.
And the look on your face,
When you're finding the frame.
Capture the feeling.
Give it a name.
I call it beauty.
Like I call you.
No, it's not the same.
But it has to do.
Chania always,
For us and the strays.
