Candle light
Onna'
Dead horizon
Woken up by a flashlight
That ain't
Mine.

Down by the water
We watch and squeal
Wondering to ourselves
How God
Truly feels

Light-hearted and wandering
Dead ended and graduated
We are the fateful few
To young to be forever blue
Got too much time an'
Not enough money
Somebody somewhere
Can you tell me where's my honey?

She left two years ago
And a day
She took my dog and my
Favorite pair a' shoes
Oh' lord...
What on Earth am
I gonna' do?
She smelled like lavender
And chives on a Spring afternoon still
Wet from the dew
Oh lord...
What on Earth am
I
Gonna' do without you?

Desperate accents
Ain't nothing bout' us that's recent
Made up a make-believe
It crawled right up my sleeve
Out of orange juice
And done with abuse
Never did find her
That lady was born
To be free and unwillin'

Got another notch
Underneath my belt
You know...
Can't say what is for
Got another rock
In my boot
And you know what?
I sure as hell
Can't shake it
Ah **** I'm broken
Ah ****
I'm stolen
No one around me
Knows my name
And ****
Looks here I'm all outta' change
If I could only take my life
And rearrange

Too tall to
Tell
The difference
Between falling in love
Or falling
Into hate
Lots of words
Lots of
Definitions
Lots of reasons
Why we do what we do
For simple
Recognition

Last call
Last chance
A star sputters out like a broken down
Ol' 55

Out in the distance
A cold coyote howls
Every cell in me
Down under my skin
Tells me:

We gotta' begin again
We gotta' begin again
We gotta' begin again

Tailored suits
Pre-ordered wives
Diamond necklaces
All in stride
Pearl buttons
Pressed pages
Souls too damp
To wear it to tonight but,
It's alright,
Take mine.

It's alright.

The wind for some reason
Is always better
On my

Side.
