Hanging on the back of my door I found an old blue coat
And I swear that in the fabric was a trace of a city long ago
The streets were filled with gunpowder and smoke that night that we first met
And for a moment I was there with you again, my sweet CDMX
My departure came as quickly as the night and as starkly as the moon
And though I know I'll make it back to you some day, I know it won't be soon
My plane ascended into dark and stormy skies that rainy night I left
So I never got the chance to wave goodbye, my sweet CDMX
So I think I'll throw this old blue coat away and let myself move on
Cause it only ties me down to a place where I no longer belong
So I'll fold it like a flag upon a grave and lay it down to rest
So I can bury all these memories of you, my sweet CDMX
With a final parting shot into the blue, my sweet CDMX
And maybe open up my heart to someone new, my sweet CDMX
