lyrics

Ketchikan

Most things that I know
I don’t know what they mean-
There’s just a grey sky and a wet forest,
And a shelter, warm as its color
Like a tangerine

“What’s the future like?”
People ask you
“It’s like the colors of the houses in Ketchikan, Alaska”
Most things that I know
I don’t know what they mean

Sometimes you just trust it
You trust what you feel
Dream a future
That won’t happen
Trust it to be real
To be real

I have all that I need
But what I want most
is to see your reflection
in a triangle window
on the Big Sur Coast.
I’d have to look back on a very different life
to have arrived there.

Sometimes you just trust it
You trust what you feel
Dream a future
That may not happen
Trust it to be real
Sometimes you just trust it
You trust what you feel
Dream a future
That may not happen
Trust it to be real
To be real.
