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 like to know
That we're now both growing up
Cleaned the dirt off my nails
And regained my luck
I wonder why
It was 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
