Lyrics Flame Trees - The Idea of North feat. Kaichiro Kitamura

Kids out driving, Saturday afternoon
Just pass me by
I'm just savoring familiar sights
We shared some history, this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
Time to book a room to stay tonight

Number one is to find some friends to say
"You're doing well
After all this time you look just the same"
Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
(We'll) Settle in to play 'Do you remember so and so?'
Number three is never say her name

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe
That she won't be around

Who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway?
It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
(And) I'm happy just to sit here at a table with my old friends
We'll see which one of us will tell the biggest lie
And there's a girl, she's falling in love near where the pianola stands
With her young local factory out-of-worker, They're just holding hands

And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
Do you remember?
Nothing stopped us on the field
In our day

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe
That she won't be around
