fort lauderdale, my land of dreams.
fort lauderdale, a fantasy.
a place where we're lovers stuck in time.
a place where i resign and design.

i took you to my old stomping ground.
ten hour drive to a tiny beach town.
showed you the ways, showed you the ropes.
"This horizon landscape is ruined by boats."

This is what I did when I left because you left me.
I drank too much and cried by the sea.
Made long distance phone calls asking for your hand to hold.
"Darling, I'm not actually there, you're out there on your own."

I ran away from you only to find you followed me.
So I wanted you to really be here, and to see what I see.
Maybe you'd finally get that part of me.
But instead you lied to people back home and made love to me on dirty sheets.

You told me it was make or break.
We'd made it until we got back in our state.
I'll hold on to those days of just me and you.
And think how it could've been had you only stuck through.

fort lauderdale, my land of dreams.
fort lauderdale, a fantasy.
