I never thought I'd see eighteen.
I finally got all eyes on me.
My daddy made my sentencing,
Now there's a first for everything.

Don't ask me what comes after today.
Don't ask me what comes after today.
Sweet Emily's eyes are all I am thinking of.

Lost hours and secrets too,
No one will find but you,
Falling is like brand new rain,
Places I have never been,
I thought these things would come to me.
Love is another country, and I want to go -

I want to go too. I want to go with you.

Where were you when the plane went down?
When the president was born,
When they founded this town.
She was standing out back, she could hardly hear the band.

My bird of freedom with a gun in her hand.

Have you seen the parade in her eye?

Once you were a straight shot, a shiny quarter in a new slot,
Night would keep the dreams that you got for afternoon
Then telling the truth got so hard, we were dancing in the backyard,
Once I knew the end and the start, but now that's through

Now you're broken and you don't understand
What is broken falls into place once again

Don't you know that the angels, in some wild and secret heart,
Doubt for those who get the wrong things and those who want to get caught.
You don't have to doubt no more. You don't have to count on crying.
No one can win a heart like yours, but damned if he ain't trying.

Put on your diamond shoes,
Put on your diamond shoes,
The ones you talk about, that sine brand new.

I know you think that I'm just a stranger,
Just a drinker he's seen downtown.
Someone he'd wave to on his way to meet you.
But I know him too.

[Chorus]
Better than a how you been.
Oh, better than I wish I did.

The sky is turning and longing
for something far away.
The moon's a tear drop,
see slowly as it falls away.
Miles running down a face,
Everything's bound to change,
It's bound to change.
Day breaks of tenderness,

I have to say the things I feel, I have to feel the things I say.
See the sun rising in the east, welcome warms days,
Feel my heart pounding every time we're alone, babe.
Everything around me has been changing so,
I can't let go, oh no.

You must live till you die,
You must fight to survive.

You, how did you get so wise?
I take the advice I find in your eyes.
Me, I’ve been waiting outside
Most of my life,
Oh like a rare b-side.

I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers.
Analog to show we’re lovers,

Under the skin,
But no further in.
I've seen it before.
I was hoping for more.

If I could choose,
I'd rather a bruise.
I'd just rather lose

Everything is gray.
Gray is a cold steel train.
Weatherman is saying,
Six more days of rain.

Goodbye and good morning,
It all comes without warning.
1000 miles behind you,

Jesus at the table in the early morning,
Dad, I’ve been thinking I got to get born.
Got to mean something heavy to somebody somewhere.
I don’t know who I am but I can’t stay here.

I didn’t mean to stand up, I didn’t mean to daydream.
I didn’t want to hear it calling my name.
Regular life don’t suit me at all.

I hear you coming up the driveway
I tie a ribbon in my hair
Well, look who's come to see me
Funny, you always end up here

But it's still pretending
And it's still wrong
And I still can't tell my heart

I got a postcard with an old address,
A picture of Houston in a creased-up mess,
Just to remind me that it all went wrong,
Just to beat me up, just to turn me on.

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,
Burning in my hands.

I'm gonna have a good cry over nothing but a handful of cigarettes.
I'm gonna leave the windows open when I feel like getting dressed.
I'm gonna think hard about leaving, see if the afternoon can tell.
I'm gonna let him lie there sleeping, then I'm gonna love him well.

One morning gonna wake up far from this town where my body lies.
But Sunday is nobody's business.
Sunday is nobody's business.

Nothin' fancy
Nothin' fit
Nothin' wasted and no deal to make
What you need is what you want to take
And what you take you use

I'm just looking for that sweet spot
Where I can live the way that I want

With your eyes made up and your dress see through,
With your heart so big it don't know what to do.
You're my favorite thing my sweet cavalier,
You have saved my life; I got to leave you here.

[Chorus]
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you.
Oh Virginia, I have tried to.

I don't want to talk to nobody.
Don't want to make no plans.
I'm so tired of this party.
I've had all my laughs.

[Chorus]
I'll send you something, when I cross over.
Something when I cross over.
