that girl was gone
you were all alone in Florida
so you burned it down
you covered your tracks
on that northbound highway
toward the belt of the bible
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you to be
the jig was up
they found you out in Portland
and chased you out of Oregon
you totaled your car
or that was the story
that you told your father
but I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you to be
your ship it sunk
into the great Ohio
Kentucky didn't miss you
and you were here
until your mother went to
go be with God
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you
and I had you right where I wanted you to be

Happy Lives

if I tell you
what I'm feeling inside
don't kill me
because I'm barely alive
would you put it away?
for me, it'll never leave
it'll own me
for all of my days
if I show you
to whom I would give my love
would you love them?
or would you just stop loving me?
did I know
back when I was a kid?
can I change this?
I don't know that I want to
so just don't shut me out
you're the only one that I've got
everything will be alright
let's go on with our happy lives
I will tell you
what I'm feeling inside
don't kill me
cause I finally feel alive
if I put it away...
for me it will never leave
but I will own me
for all of my days
I will show you
to whom I would give my love
would you love them?
you know I won't stop loving you
did I know
back when I was a kid?
I couldn't change it
believe me
I tried to
so just don't shut me out
you're the only one that I've got
and everything will be alright
let's go on with our happy lives

Go

go your own way
cause everybody's tired
call your own cab
cause all of us are tired
I'll tell you now
you're gonna stay alone
and if some poor bastard
lets you in his home
he'll regret the day
so go your own way
take all your shit
cause everybody's tired
don't leave a remnant
no souvenirs
we've got plenty of them
thanks
I'm telling you now
you've burned every bridge
and everything
in this peaceful place
pleads for a clean break
so just go

The Photo Line

there you were in the photo line
a brand new story among reruns
and seventeen and Christmas green
it was as if I knew no one or nothing
dim lights and mid-90's top 40
we took the floor in my imagination
and just as my hands felt the muscles of your back
you were gone, and I was driving back
there's a time when we don't know who we are
and it seems like we will never know
but if at long last we find the reason we're breathing
will we hold it close and never let it go
again I saw you in an all-night diner
the holiday highway was our conduit
and hometown flames turn to ashes with space and time
lucky for me, the embers slipped right past your eyes
there's a time when we don't know who we are
and it seems like we will never know
but if at long last we find the reason we're breathing
will we hold it close and never let it go
there's a time when we don't know who we are
and it seems like we will never know
but if at long last we find out why we're breathing
will we hold it close and never let it go
