lyrics

when i tell you those sweet words
and i bid you farewell
just know i can't be waiting on a train
that someone else derailed
and i'll just spend more nights in my records
and even more of those nights in whiskey and tears

but maybe you'll be there for me someday
maybe i'll have the strength to kill that pride
open up these arms to you, make something from this broken life
til then i'm walking alone
in the deserts and plains of america
i'm an american boy and i was born to roam
but locked forever in an old man's soul
and how can i help it if i wanna be the one
that makes it alright
how can i help it that i dream of you
you're never far from my mind
and when i sing these songs
to my broken mirror
and i wish to god
more than anything
that you were here
i pour my heart out everynight
and close my eyes
i beat this heart until it's dry
then i bid you sweet goodnight
bittersweet goodnight

MORTARS Tennessee

The part of the lake where all the trash washes up, the driveway at the house show when the AC is broken and it is too hot to play inside, the basement where you have to watch what you step on and the air feels real heavy. That is where we shine.
