my other friend says that hell isn't real
but i thought it was just out west of Nashville
i hope you fall apart sometimes, i think that's healthy
but mostly i just hope you're doin fine
i got the news that we weren't friends
and it felt like a kick in the head
the danger i put you in was doin too much damage
you drove up in your new car
but i'm still waiting on my grandparents to die
so i can have their 2007 avalon
(...i just wanted to say thanks for wishing me a great day. i just wanted to say that it was a good day. i woke up on time, i sat in the sun, i read in the park...that was really nice.)
(i had a strange night last night. i'm kind of like, coming down. uh, i won't get you down on your birthday, but i hope you're having a nice summer. i hope you continue having a nice summer.)
bike into town
a thousand miles down the road, it feels like a flaming gauntlet
go back home
the love that was in my heart's still there
but nobody wants it
(...but it was really nice hearing from you and i hope you're having a great time with your friends and uh, and uh...)

is it really like you say?
am i really magic
when you say i'm like a flame
do you really mean it
sitting in your car
reminds me i don't live here
looking at the stars
reminds me that i'm leaving
i can't say this town doesn't fill me in some way
when it doesn't let me down
and it's hard to say what i love most
is it you or the taste in my mouth
of sour beer when i'm driving home
and my feet drag over the south
is it really like you say?
do i really matter
drove home at the break of day
the coffee made me sadder
i think about your porch
i've never even seen it
sitting on the curb
daydreaming
i can't say that town doesn't fill me in some way
even when i'm not around
and it's hard to say what i love most
is it you or the words in your mouth
and i can't explain how i love them both
am i falling or falling down?
when you say i'm like a flame
do you really mean it?
if i burn you up someday
will you be defeated

i'll say i want you instead
when i feel like running and i can see my breath in bed
icy and white and wet
sorry i can't be kept
maybe you can warm my throat like a cigarette
out on the porch, freezing at 5 am
i lose all my luck
when ya drive up in your pickup truck!
i feel like a lame horse
wishin i could be yours
i haven't slept in days
snow piles up in the towns all around the lake
askin for your heart would be a big mistake
but i lose all my luck
when ya drive up in your pickup truck!
i feel like a lame horse
wishin that i could be yours
