I'm stuck on a memory of you dancing in a backyard in North Jersey

You're holding sparklers and silhouetted by the porch lights on a summer evening

So while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth

It occurred to me you used to be happy

I curse the dashboard heat

It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat

Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty

I feel so damn empty

Well, I keep thinking that I'll feel better when it's warmer across state lines

Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield with a piece of broken taillight

And oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick

But I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic

I curse the dashboard heat

It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat

Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty

I feel so damn empty

Well, I'm gonna go to Georgia

I'm gonna smile in the sun

Gonna pick you some wild daylilies

And I'm gonna hold on to ‘em

Gonna keep ‘em in my pocket

Till you let me back home

Well, I'm gonna go to Georgia

And I'm coming back whole

I curse the dashboard heat

It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat

Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty

I feel so damn empty

I curse the dashboard heat

It's fucking freezing, asleep in the backseat

Oh god, I'm shaking, I'm empty

I feel so damn empty
