Delaware

(album: Ultrapure - 2023)

And the rain pushed us out to some Delaware town
you swore we'd never again
Cracks adding up in the ceiling
guess I did all the thinking for us both back then
And you counted real hard, picked up a couple new scars
prayed that wishes came true
All that feeling it did was make it harder to live
than you'd intended it to

And I've been up in my head, running numbers
and something just won't add up

I want, more than anything, to be fine
I know you've been out here running wild
You've been driving back and forth over state lines
God knows what's going on in that mind
You must be tired

And you locked all the doors, started walking right towards
those glowing green neon lights
And the world started breathing for the first of so many times
for all of my life
And you came back to find
there only a child left alone in the dark
Nobody wants to admit that they're capable of
starting a flame by the spark

And I've been up in my head, running numbers

I want, more than anything, to be fine
I know you've been out here running wild
You've been driving back and forth over state lines
God knows what's going on in that mind
You must be tired

You must be tired
You must be tired
You must be tired
