Nowhere, LA

Louisiana in a broken down car

At the whim of a kind stranger with a crowbar

Headlights passing us stranded in the bayou

Lost in the dark, singing to "Pictures of You"

And I don't miss chapping my lips from saying, "Sorry"

Still I wish I could say it one last time

So many nights, I cut my tongue to make it sharper

It wasn't my fault but it wasn't yours either

Stepped on my own tail again

When I saw you across the street

Thought of what I'd say to you

But my words all come up empty

All my words they sound so empty

I'd like to know that we're now both growing up

Cleaned the dirt off my nails and regained my luck

I wonder why it's so hard to let you go

I know I walk fast but my heart moves so slow

Stepped on my own tail again

When I saw you across the street

Thought of what I'd say to you

But my words all come up empty

All my words sound so fucking empty

Louisiana in a broken down car

What if we only got that far?
