One Mississippi

One Mississippi, two Mississippi

Countin' down the seconds

Standin' in the wreckage of love

On a cold, gray Jackson dawn

Oh, I just can't watch this

Sure can't stop this

I keep waitin'

Your taillights are fadin'

I see you're already gone

I'm half of who I used to be

One Mississippi, hmm

Lipstick on a coffee cup

I know I should wash it up, but maybe I'll

Just wait here for a little while

I run my fingers round the top

Where your lips were, I just stop 'cause I

I can almost see your smile

And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi

Countin' down the seconds

Standin' in the wreckage of love

On a cold, gray Jackson dawn

And I know everybody's got their demons

Everybody's got their reasons

Why they leave when they run

But, baby, I coulda helped you through it

You built a wall and I couldn't get to it

And now I'm waitin' for the rain

And the pain to come, yeah

And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi

Countin' down the seconds

Standin' in the wreckage of love

On a cold, gray Jackson dawn

Oh, I just can't watch this

Sure can't stop this

I keep waitin'

Your taillights are fadin'

I see you're already gone

I'm half of who I used to be

One Mississippi

Ooh, one Mississippi, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
