Lyrics
The sodium vapor off of Dauphin bleeds across the glass.
Gussie, I’m trying to find your focus in this city, but it moves too fast.
It's a blurry print, it's all wrong-lit, it's all concrete and steel grain.
And the wet-wool smell of the August air here don't smell nothing like the rain.
[Chorus]
This whole city is a double-exposure,
And I can't bring you any closer.
Yeah, this whole life is a double-exposure,
And I can't bring you any closer.
[Verse 2]

[Bridge]
Every shot I take up here is framed all wrong.
My whole damn life is just the space where you belong.
[Outro]
A double-exposure...
Can't bring you any closer.
