Central Reservation (Original Version)

Central Reservation (Original Version) - Beth Orton

Written by：Beth Orton

Running down the central reservation

In last night's red dress

And I can still smell you on my fingers

And taste you on my breath

Stepping through brilliant shades

Of the color you bring

This time this time this time

Is whatever I want it to mean

If this is where memories are made well

Gonna like what I see

Everything I ever took for granted

I'm gonna let it be

I step through every shade

Of the color you bring

But this time this time this time

Is whatever I want it to mean

And everything and nothing is

As sacred as we want it to be

When it's real make it real

Compared to what

It's like living in the middle of the ocean

With no future no past

And everything that's good about now

Might just glide right past

I'm stepping through brilliant shades

All the color you bring

This time this time this time

Is fine just as it is

And everything is sacred here

And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be

When it's real

Compared to what
