lyrics

Short and loud and young and lovely
The Girl from Capilano caught my eye
She wraps her hair before she goes to bed
Tells me all that’s in her head
And every time she’s all alone
She calls her sister on the phone
She bears the weight of the new world
and sheds a tear for the old one
Sometimes we go to cocktail bars downtown
She says she’s boujee, I say I know
When we go home because we’re tired
I rest my head on hers

It seems we have our whole lives to be happy together
But tonight we’ll have an hour if we meet soon by the stairs

If you’re ever free
girl from capilano, run with me
We’ll have our backs to the breeze
We’ll jump and touch the shorter trees
Without a care that we could know - me and the girl from capilano

By the flowers at the leg we go walking
I smile at her and she smiles back at me
Later we’ll talk about me and you
and argue ‘bout meat and tofu
you’ll feel bad about what we spend
and I’ll feel bad about carbon
In the end we’ll know we’re lucky
In the end we’re only two in love
after all the cares that we have spared
We’ll care again tomorrow
we’ll go rest our weary heads
you’ll wrap your hair again

...

It seems we have our whole lives to be happy together
Tonight we’ll dream of all that we can at our leisure
Thinking about all tomorrow’s pains and pleasures
