lyrics

We had two days in Dunedin
And we went looking for that sound
The Verlaines, The Clean, The Bats, and Sneaky Feelings
Trying to find the Flying Nun at the lost and found

But I think what we were looking for was lost somewhere in the past
When you heard "Joed Out" back in 1993
Or when you listened to "Death and the Maiden" in your senior year apartment
And then put it on a mix CD for me
Yeah you put it on a mix CD for me
And I listened to it
And thought of you, the way you laughed,
The softness of your eyes in photographs
In photographs

In the dusk we walked to the top of Baldwin
The steepest street in the world, and stood looking down
It was 10 PM, but the birds were up and singing
It was December, midsummer in this town

And I think what we were looking for was lost somewhere in the past
In a paper envelope you folded for my mix CD
"'Don't do anything important,' she said, 'with anybody else'"
But you did all the important things with me
Yeah you did all the important things with me
And I'm glad you were here
For the years we spent, the friends we made,
The time we wasted beautifully together
Together

And when we floated through the darkness
In the cold cave water, with our wetsuits on
Looking up at a universe of glowworms in that darkness
I wanted to shine forever with you,
I wanted time forever with you
See the stars forever with you
Forever with you

We never found the Dunedin Sound, the scene's just not the same
We bought some indie pop from a record shop, but I forget the name
And we listened to it
And drove along the South Island coast
And stopped along the way to take some photographs
New photographs
