Lyrics

If the Burgundy walls
Of that spare room could talk
I'd bet they'd gossip 'bout
The rabbit hole I fell into
Where you pulled out all the tricks
And hung me with a kiss
I couldn't even blame my youth
When we were through
It was clear as day
I was just another pretty face
That you could take upstate
And show around that American town
Drink rum with there in the backseat
Fresh rain on the concrete
Just planting flags on the holiest ground
Playing house with your daddy's money
Would be almost funny
If the end didn't carry so much weight
Much more than I could take
Upstate
It was midnight on the coast
You were stealing the show
Telling me all about
The missteps in your formative parts
I sat there, stars in my eyes
Like you were the northern lights
And I was lucky just to be there
When you showed your scars
What a dangerous game
If I was just another pretty face
That you could take upstate
And show around that American town
Drink rum with there in the backseat
Fresh rain on the concrete
Just planting flags on the holiest ground
Playing house with your daddy's money
Would be almost funny
If the end didn't carry so much weight
Much more than I could take
Upstate
Oh no now honey listen
Don't you ever feel what's missing?
Or is it only my fate
Thinking about who you'll take
Upstate
And show around that American town
Drink rum with there in the backseat
Fresh rain on the concrete
Just planting flags on the holiest ground
Playing house with your daddy's money
Would be almost funny
If the end didn't carry so much weight
Much more than I could take
Upstate
Oh no now honey listen
Don't you ever feel what's missing?
Or is it only my fate
Thinking about who you'll take
Upstate
