lyrics

Bleach hair, walk straight, talk like your s’posed to
Good things we missed, skipped like a curfew
Don’t stand so close that boy will burn you
Dog ear my pages so you see where I turn to
Hand out, neck up, shake like a pistol
Aimed high with closed eyes and claimed that the wind blew

Chorus:
How much more can we take
Before the bow breaks
Praying my branches hold weight
But lord we made mistakes

Clinched fist, loose lips, bred for a secret
Stole things, gold rings, begged her to keep it
Look toward your throne, she said that’s where the thief sits
Heard she had a bad side, want to know where she keeps it.
Stand up, big smile, let them come closer
Clean face, good pace, screams when it’s over

Chorus

*Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight*

Big dreams, good heart, at least that’s what some say
Bent back, rough hands, earned it the hard way
Push forth, sweet north, I choose the south way
Blue eyes, bad nights, she cries when the song plays
Prays for the father, he reminds her of Sundays
Face full of fire and eyes big as ashtrays

Chorus

Stay close, pack light, watch where you’re walking
Don’t sell me short, I’ll do the talking
Her plans, her life, I played a big part
Follow my steps, you can see where this all starts
Drunk words, nervous, slept in the hallway
We sang with the crickets and cried we were ok

Chorus
