[Verse 1] A half full moon in Mexico City I think of you And when I saw the Southern Cross I wished you had too I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you Oh, I've been spending half the year in a plane going up and down And you've been seeing other people from a nearby town Been obsessing and getting depressed about us Excess baggage and other stupid band stuff [Chorus] I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
[Verse 2] When you said the veins in my left hand were shaped like a tree Was that the very last time you really looked at me? I'm in training to become as cold as ice I'm determined to protect my feelings to disguise When I said I didn't love you I told a lie Because there is no one above you though I try Would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name Over and over and over and over again? [Chorus with first line repeated twice]
[Verse 3] The trouble is I got me close to hating me And when I wake up in the morning it's your face I see Oh, you once made me feel less afraid You've got me pouring myself over this page
[Chorus]
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
