Sweet Avenue Lyrics
tasting you and rain I walk down to the train
trying not to look down
this day could some day be an anniversary
everything is light and sound
facing forwards going slowly
wait for you to show me
where this train wants to go
living by the hour I
stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow
now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt right
thank you for making me
see there's a life in me
it was dying to get out
holding you we make two spoons
beneath an April moon
everything is soft and sweet
this cigarette it could seduce
a nation with its smoke
crawling down my tired throat
scratches part of me that's purring
softly stirring
I'm a captain of industry smoking famously
feet up on the windowsill
looking at all these trees I feel affinity with
everything so soft and still
budding at my fingertips
touching you I start to bloom
alive with trains and passing ships
soft and sweet along your lips now
I go "oh wow"
thank you for taking me from my monastery
I was dying to get out
with tears of gratitude
I lock my latitude
cross town train to you
now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life for the first time it felt worth it
like I deserved it
trying not to look down
this day could some day be an anniversary
everything is light and sound
facing forwards going slowly
wait for you to show me
where this train wants to go
living by the hour I
stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow
now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt right
see there's a life in me
it was dying to get out
holding you we make two spoons
beneath an April moon
everything is soft and sweet
this cigarette it could seduce
a nation with its smoke
crawling down my tired throat
scratches part of me that's purring
softly stirring
I'm a captain of industry smoking famously
feet up on the windowsill
looking at all these trees I feel affinity with
everything so soft and still
budding at my fingertips
touching you I start to bloom
alive with trains and passing ships
soft and sweet along your lips now
I go "oh wow"
thank you for taking me from my monastery
I was dying to get out
with tears of gratitude
I lock my latitude
cross town train to you
now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life for the first time it felt worth it
like I deserved it

The ultimate love song. Truly.
"thank you for making me see there's a life in me"
Everything about this song... wow...
That one person who changed everything, forever <3
This is quite possibly one of the most amazing love songs I've ever heard. This song mellows me out and makes me feel good just about any time. Jets is definately an incredible band.
this is my all time favorite jets to brazil song.
there is nothing like the feeling of i n f i n i t y love can give a person.
this is the most amazing love song ever. i love the beginning: "tasting you and rain.."
one of the best love songs of all time. it's that simple
This is a very good song about love and the time in a person's life when they realize what that love has done for them. If you are feeling down listen to this song. If you are high on life because you have found that special someone, listen to this song. No matter what mood you are in, this song will do nothing short up bringing you up a few notches.
@zachjb unless you\'re really sad over losing someone/not being with someone... listen to this song*.\r\n\r\nIt\'s an absolutely beautiful song and does deserve to be heard by many, many, many people. Just maybe not when in certain situations where love songs hurt to hear. "I Typed For Miles" and "Starry Configurations" may be more up to speed if that\'s the case.\r\n\r\n

this song makes me very happy and very sad at the same time. on the one hand, I'm very glad that this sort of love does exist in the world. on the other hand, why doesn't it exist for me?
at any rate, it is a beautiful love song without any of that sugar-coated, flowery crap. it is about being READY for this kind of elation that comes along with honest love. it's just an incredible song, musically and lyrically.
i love the lines "tasting you and rain" "this cigarette, it could seduce a nation with its smoke" and "touching you i start to bloom" - it reminds me of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, for some reason
This is my boyfriend and I's song...it's so amazing, and describes our relationship perfectly...I hope everyone can feel like this at least once in their life! =)
it's a love song about a cigarette...
fadeintome: I agree, such a prettysong isn't it?... Want to hear something ironic, my girlfriend and my song is "Fade Into You" ... Odd huh?? :)
