central reservation

Singer:beth orton

running down a central reservation in last night's red dress

and i can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath;

stepping through brilliant shades

all the color you bring

this time

this time

this time

is whatever i want it to mean. if this is where memories are made

i'm gonna like what i see

and everything that i ever took for granted

i'm gonna let it be. i step through every shade

all the color you bring

this time

this time

this time

is whatever i want it to mean. and everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be

when it's really all

make it really all

compared to what. it's like living in the middle of the ocean

with no future

no past

and everything that's good about now

well

might just glide right past. i'm stepping through brilliant shades

all the color you bring

this time

this time

this time

is fine just as it is. and everything is sacred here

and nothing is as sacred as i want it to be

when it's really all compared to what.
