Jason Bajada – Ten Days In Miami

Tonight’s tune has been driving me crazy all day.  There are a couple lines in the song, “return to me softly” and “10 days in Miami”, that sound just like another song I’ve heard before.  Unfortunately, I can’t seem to piece it together.  Anyways, 10 Days In Miami comes to us from the Montreal, Quebec indie/folk artist Jason Bajada, and his 3rd full-length release Loveshift.  Loveshift is Bajada’s first release on the Toronto based label MapleMusic Recordings.

I know you love me
But I figure you can’t
When the gates close final
And your dresses are touching new men

You say you’re sorry
But honey I really am
There’s a life out there
But the vacation is harder to plan

I don’t blink when I look at you
Cus I can’t let you go

Return to me softly
Like a bee to the hive
When the sugar starts pouring and you smile,
You’ll know we’ve arrived

10 days in Miami
Framed glasses & coal
Lilacs from the tree by my house
Were yours forever to hold

You’re the woman I’ll marry
But I’m drunk in my car
With a big warm blanket of pills
And a sky full of stars

I don’t blink when I look at you
Cus I can’t let you go

I know you love me
Everyone tells me you do
The hardest part is wondering what you’ll do with the romance he gives to you

10 days in Miami
An impossible hell
With the airport flowers
Bringing happiness to the prettiest girl

I don’t blink when I look at you
Cus I can’t let you go
I can’t let you go
Why are you leaving?
Cus I can’t let you go
