Rough Riders Songtext

von The Pastels

Rough riders in button downs
When they smiled it was sincere
And they frowned
Outsider european school
To me that's cool and absolute
Were they closer to the truth?
The concept is so loose
But when I think of them
I think of you
I'm always in the world with you

From a friend to a friend
Look into my camera lens
See how the picture bends

If every moment
That defined our lives
Was signaled with a single harbour light
The colour flurry
Could not hurry
The timelessness I feel
When we're together
No blind to these
Shoddy shoddy times
I just want to linger
In those lights
Cause when I see them
I think of think of you
I'm always in the world with you

From a friend to a friend
Look into my camera lens
See how the picture bends

From a friend to a friend
Does a journey ever end?
And what did we intend?
Are we leaving
Or arriving?
