Clementine Lyrics

I've been cool for a while

Let the sun tongue me down

Let her kiss my burnt mouth

Spent my summer

Drunk on yesterday's wine

Perched under the old pines

And in one of those endless afternoons

I had this dream where you kissed me

Like you'd been waiting to

Like you meant to last Halloween

Tall as me on the tips of your feet

I could feel your teeth

Could I stay asleep?

Tell me why do I keep finding you

In the corner of my spotless mind, my soft spoken clementine

Oh my darling, what a lovely place to hide

In my memories, you're all mine

So when the sunshine faded that day

I had this dream where you missed me

So I knew it wasn't true

But I saw your breath in the air

Your eyes were childish and scared

You held your hands in my hair

And I swore you were there

Thought I'd see you if I went up the stairs

But you weren't there

I'm not sure if I'm still asleep but if I am

Where does this story start and where do my dreams end?
