I could take you to my mama's house Don't be scared to run your mouth She loves you with every ounce We took a drive to Mexico You forgot your passport though So I turned around and did it over 'Cause it doesn't matter where we are On the side of the road, in the cold, in a frozen broke down car I'll still love you You fall somewhere in between, shotgun rider full blown queen Follow you like Galileo, Aphrodite seldom seen Take me to the place you run from the most and I'll bе there Slay your ghost, so you don't have to fight alonе (fight alone) So you don't have to Show me where your demons hide Tears are forming in your eyes It doesn't have to be tonight Oh baby, we can take our time We got until we're 105 Everyday's a different light 'Cause it doesn't matter where we are When we're old and we're gray I'll see you the same 'cause we made it that far I'll still love you You fall somewhere in between, shotgun rider full blown queen Follow you like Galileo, Aphrodite seldom seen Take me to the place you run from the most and I'll be there Slay your ghost, so you don't have to fight alone (fight alone) So you don't have to Thinking back to you and me Shotgun riding singing Queen Every word of rhapsody Getting high as Mercury Let me be the place you run to the most I'll be there when you get home So you don't have to fight alone (fight alone) So you don't have to, so you don't have to I could take you to my mama's house Don't be scared to run your mouth She loves you with every ounce

Pile of postcards across the front yard All of 'em worried you didn't need the same It's gettin cold We're gettin older If I sound hurried, I ain't running away I'm only chasing The paper on the pavement, playing country tunes Bracing, bracing for the pain I don't see coming soon Tell me about your day while I lay on top of you Or sit across from you I'm hard to watch I know I lost my touch Cut my hair and then it never grew Took a Greyhound, then I was southbound Georgia on my mind right next to you Round New Jersey I was getting wordy I'll send a bird to sing "I love you, too" Wait a week some You know I'll see you, hon But I better get there before these papers do It's always raining Like the song we love that's double both our ages Changing like the seasons and their reasons not for staying long Like the wind, and the tide Baby you and I can meet in Macon Get to shakin Our records playin

You said "it's cold, but we need the seasons" Sing an old song, watch me drive by You said "stay gold" Well I'm gonna show you I can Sitting here alone going nowhere fast Looking through my phone Wondering why the good things feel sad Digging up old bones for what I had Oh oh Oh oh Old bones Old bones We come so close Having bad thoughts But I'm still believing By the first frost, I will know That you're a paradox And I'm just a whisper of way back when And I feel like a ghost in a party hat How am I to hold the days when they're fading so fast You get up just to go Now you can't come back Oh oh Oh oh Old bones Old bones We come so close It comes And goes We come so close Old bones Old bones We come so close It comes And goes We come so close

I'm alone for the week so I'll go for a walk Past community libraries and people with gardens Planting roots and pulling up their weeds Feeling tied the past, water towers on hills Sneaking up to the top when we had time to kill We always wondered if Carole still loves Bill Carry all my old friends In a heart-shaped locket Keep em tied around my neck Even though they hold me back and I'm blowing kisses Driving down dead ends Keep your photo on the fridge Knowing I won't talk to you again Counting minutes and hours, till I'm fully obsessed Never have enough time for my scarcity complex Every moment feels gone before it leaves me Purple houses, no one's home Fancy parties, empty hosts Walking home in the pouring rain Cowboy boots made me miss my train Carry all my old friends In a heart-shaped locket Keep em tied around my neck Even though they hold me back, and I'm blowing kisses Like I'm not haunted Every moment that I miss Even ones I wish I could forget Carry all my old friends In a heart-shaped locket Keep em tied around my neck Even though they hold me back, and Tying up my loose ends Into perfect ribbons Growing older is a gift Letting go is just a part of it The hard part is that time, it passes The best part is that time, it passes The hard part is it never lasts But the best part is just that you had it The hard part is it never lasts But the best part is just that you had it

Take the long way home Just to let the song finish out Just to go see the farmhouse I always wanted to live in Roll the windows down Just to drive past the dead end The one where we got naked And lit off those sparklers Making wishes on weeds I'll tell you anything I know you'll keep it just between us To the other boys, godspeed Cause your sweet heart has a hold on me I'd like to keep Cut up magazines Pressed flowers in your poetry Stains from the blackberries are Covering my good jeans We exist in dreams Butterflies land right on the leaves 100 year old willow tree And you lay down beside me Making wishes on weeds I'll tell you anything I know you'll keep it just between us To the other boys, godspeed Cause your sweet heart has a hold on me I'd like to keep

Too many girls from parties know too much about my life Maybe I should've just told you If I call you what are you gonna do Just stare until my face fades away Or would you pick up and be faced with what you walked away from You're always a couple days late aren't ya Told my friends at breakfast I can't do this anymore But by nine I'm on my way over Get your keys before I change my mind I've already changed it five times today By the time I'm there I forget my name Too many girls from parties know too much about my life Maybe I should've just told you But I'm far gone now the crowd sounds prettier singing your name I'm better off, you don't seem better off Larger than life you're skipping down the stairs Arms wide you tell the door she's with me I end up in your room before I can change my mind about it Looking back I looked my age Screaming along to "This Must Be The Place" But now too many girls from parties know too much about that night Maybe I should've just told you But I'm far gone now the crowd sounds prettier singing your name I'm better off, you don't seem better off Oh I couldn't make it Heard it was a rager But I don't think I could take it To talk to you like strangers If I call you what would you do? Just stare because you know you're far too late
