lyrics

Key of D
~109 bpm

In a motel room down in Mississippi
I looked into you through the shower curtain
Now summer’s here in our holy city
We aren’t so sure, but the flower’s certain

You said you had the instincts of a mother
That I reinvent myself into another
You treat your room like it’s a strangers
Kiss it all goodbye for the money changers

Let’s be rid of our weakness
Our cursing the rain gods
And leave us staring at the drawing room floor
Let's be mad in this sensitive summer
Not beasts who just shift the blame
Let’s say that we left it on the cutting room floor

I still want you, but you won't reciprocate it
I'd be smart just to let you go

...

We were twins out on the spit
Digging ourselves thieves, eating hawkbit
If we were king and queen of each other
Would you second guess yourself?

So let’s be rid of our weakness
Our cursing the rain gods
And leave us staring at the drawing room floor
Let's be mad in this sensitive summer
Not beasts who just shift the blame
Let’s say that we left it on the cutting room floor

I still want you, but you won't reciprocate it
I'd be smart just to let you go
