Cheryl In Every City

[Verse 1]
You wrote your name
On my boarding pass
Middle seat
Red-eye
We still laughed about that
Backpack tickets
Crushed in your jeans
You said
“Pick a country”
I said
“Pick a dream”
[Chorus]
Cheryl in every city
Cheryl in every room
You’re the map
You’re the meaning
Every sky turns blue
From the first small coffee
To the last hotel view
If the world is a story
I just read it with you
Cheryl in every city
I just read it with you
[Verse 2]
We missed that train
Outside Berlin
Shared cold fries
Warm beer
Wind on your skin
You traced a ring
On a fogged-up pane
Said
“One day in Italy
We’ll share a last name”
[Chorus]
Cheryl in every city
Cheryl in every room
You’re the vow I keep making
Under strange hotel moons
From the first small coffee
To the last late-night view
If the world is a story
I just read it with you
Cheryl in every city
I just read it with you
[Bridge]
March on the calendar
Circles and crooked hearts
You in a borrowed dress
Me trying to learn my part
Church bells in a language
We barely understand
But you squeeze my fingers
And I finally feel the land
[Chorus]
Cheryl in every city
Cheryl in that old church too
You’re the road
You’re the answer
Every dream came true
From the first small coffee
To this “I do” with you
If the world is a story
I keep choosing this view
Cheryl in every city
I just read it with you

rock, Warm indie rock groove with jangly guitars, steady tom-heavy drums, and melodic bass. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus blooms with doubled male vocals, roomy snare, and shimmering lead guitar hook. Bridge pulls the band back to a hush with tremolo guitar, then swells into a final, shouted chorus., world, deep, indie rock
