Denver from Summer Parade by All the Wine

I think this time we barely felt the poison.
We were comfortable with knowing we were dying.
And I was begging you not to run away to Denver.
Can't you see it brought about the end in me?

And I heard she was looking for a ride outta town.
She was asking around for a nicer place to stay.
And I heard she found some new friends out there
who taught her how to kill the pain for a while, if just for the night.

I think we saw there was nothing left to save.
We grew up and away from all the promises we made
to pack up the car and run from a deadly summer sun,
and settle in California and never come back down.

And I heard she found some new friends out there
who taught her how to kill the pain for a while.
She found an apartment in a bad part of the city.
She said, "It's not much to come home to,
but it's not much to leave behind."

She's smoking a cigarette out behind the bar.
And now she's touching his chest in the parking lot,
and they're pressed up against his car.

Well there's a better part of her out there
and she said she needs to find it.
It's buried out in the mountains
and not in my arms anymore.
