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'd 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 that night
Let my mind reset
Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left
I start digging up the yard
For what’s left of me in our little vineyard
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
