Lyrics

I can draw the curtains
I can handle this
I can build a gleaming fortress, Motel Six
I can keep my drinks down
So you cowards never guess
I can let the dark thoughts run like wild dogs
All day up in my head
Shovel sugar in my coffee
Nervous bitter sweat
I can tell the waitress things I can't tell my friends
Like how sometimes I can see you
In people on the street
Missed connections in a desperate late night diner
In western Tennessee
I went down to your memorial last fall
Strung out in color on the pavement
I am ashamed I let your honesty embarrass me
And now I wish I could tell you
A couple things I hadn't yet
All I can ever do is chase you on your ten-speed
Down Franklin towards the bridge
Never slow down
White knuckle angel
This is gonna take everything you have
One more day
It tastes just like honey
Just like the morning light cut through the storm
Thrown against the brick
I know you, you stay true
Thread the needle
Cherry burned a hole into the backseat
Riding with my friends
It is the logic of our motion
That our means become our end
It's Slayer on the speaker
Eyes trained for blue and red
Best just to duck behind the chemicals
Lay low, and start again
Tattoo my name into your body
Even though we have just met
But this has been a strange eleven days
I don't want you to forget
Alien radio transmissions while I throw glass bottles out the window
The next time I reach this diner I will be traveling alone
I spy in horror funnels forming
With my little bloodshot eye
We are too young and full of fight
To feel this dead inside
Push the needle ever faster to outrun
Purple west-of-Memphis skies
Pouring buckets, and nameless counties
Pray the next one isn't dry
Never slow down
White knuckle angel
This is gonna take everything you have
What's one more day
It tastes just like honey
Just like the morning light cut through the storm
Thrown against the brick
I know you, you stay true
Thread the needle
