I guess I got a taste for poison I've given up on ever bein well I keep mindin the horizon Diggin for lies I have yet to tell And I wish you were here And softly say my name Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain I don't think I've missed you this much Since I was seventeen I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream Cherokee Cherokee Well you'd call those doubts right out of me I see you shinin through the tree tops, But don't feel you pulling strings anymore I still use your old alarm clock Every mornin I get further off the course. And don't I hear you speakin in the noises in this house Airplanes flyin over, shakin all my secrets out Darlin tell me somethin that I don't already know I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go To Cherokee Cherokee Well, you call those doubts right out of me It felt like the world was burnin You had stars in your eyes Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy Everything you taught me still rattles in my head I'm stayin off of Main Street, You're talking to the dead In Cherokee Cherokee I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me

I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar of losing everything And the guard I held together Was losing all its shape And in my head you looked so gorgeous It's keeping me awake There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I was never scared of nothin Thought I had a home Life went and broke me open So I carried it alone I'm findin all this well-worn sadness I never knew I kept And I still chase you into heartache Every time you take a step. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar Of losing everything But you had a halo made of diamonds Resting on your head I should be dealing with my demons But I'm dodgin' them instead. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue

Star crossed eyes and cross eyed stars No use hiding age old scars Well you're not here and I can't be still I don't think that I'll sleep until I see you The strongest will the softest touch I never knew I'd have so much You call me out and reign me in Riding through the rain again tonight Hold my hand and ease my aches Wake me up when my fever breaks I'm laying down my soul The answers that I can't know And the pain I never thought I would let go of These days we got held to pay And we got ridged rolls to play And driving around this neighbourhood Just ain't doing me no good this time But darling when you reach for me It feels just like infinity Honey help me break this curse Howling at the universe again Hold my hand and ease my aches Wake me up when my fever breaks I'm laying down my soul The answers that I can't know And the pain i never thought i would let go of

I can't remember when I've felt this lost I took a wrong turn trying to carry this cross Why'd I have to go and get blessed with a curse I'm chasing death or glory, whichever comes first One for the money, four on the floor You were born last week with your foot in the door I heard truth is what songs are for Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore You had everything you needed to get it all right You said you're gonna get rich if it takes all night Should I go to Texas or Tennessee Or lock myself in Tulsa and throw away the key
