Burbank Woman by Taylor Locke Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Could've sworn that when I left her there
Smoking on the front porch with the sunlight in her hair
She was making perfect sense and my restless mind went quiet
Driving home on unfamiliar roads
Felt so good to see a part of town I didn't know
I thought to myself, "Maybe part of me is changing"
[Chorus]
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'd find her with an empty stare
Think she was looking back at a life that was no longer there
And I tried to catch her eye, but her restless mind was working
But still it felt like she was leaning into me
And the taxi, and the warm bed, and the laugh she gave so easily
I didn't wanna think, somehow, somewhere, things were changing
[Chorus]
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
[Bridge]
If only there were words to change
The way she felt when she walked away
She's heard it all and still she knows
She's come too far to get too close
[Chorus]
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
Gonna keep me at a distance
Could've sworn that when I left her there
Smoking on the front porch with the sunlight in her hair
She was making perfect sense and my restless mind went quiet
Driving home on unfamiliar roads
Felt so good to see a part of town I didn't know
I thought to myself, "Maybe part of me is changing"
[Chorus]
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'd find her with an empty stare
Think she was looking back at a life that was no longer there
And I tried to catch her eye, but her restless mind was working
But still it felt like she was leaning into me
And the taxi, and the warm bed, and the laugh she gave so easily
I didn't wanna think, somehow, somewhere, things were changing
[Chorus]
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
[Bridge]
If only there were words to change
The way she felt when she walked away
She's heard it all and still she knows
She's come too far to get too close
[Chorus]
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
Cause she is something that she didn't say
Deep in her heart there was a valley and no freeway to get there
Never mind the miles, or my persistence
She was gonna keep me, gonna keep me at a distance
Gonna keep me at a distance
