So tired trying to see from
behind the red in my eyes
No better version of me
I could pretend to be tonight
So deep in this swill with
the most familiar of swine
For reasons
wretched and divine
She blows outta nowhere
roman candle of the wild
Laughing away through
my feeble disguise
No other version of me
I would rather be tonight
And Lord
she found me just in time
'Cause with my mid youth crisis
all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt
'cause God I never felt young
She's gonna save me
Call me baby
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
Lord it be great to find a place
we could escape sometime
Me and my Isis growing black
irises in the sunshine
Every version of me dead
and buried in the yard outside
Sit back and watch
the world go by
Happy to lie back
watch it burn and rust
We tried the world good
God it wasn't for us
She's gonna save me
Call me baby
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
Cut clean from the dream
at night let my mind reset
Looking up from the cigarette
and she's already left
I start digging up the yard of
what's left of me
and our little vignette
For whatever poor soul
is coming next
She's gonna save me
Call me baby
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
