Steven & Melissa

(album: From Underneath The Old - 2005)

Melissa left for Mexico President's Day night
With all the pieces she has broken holding on too tight
Melissa left for Mexico President's Day night

The desert looks like water when you're trying to get clean
You can't run from nothing so you might as well get free
The desert looks like water when you're trying to get clean

It's wide open out here where the wind don't know your name
Yes it's wide open when you're trying to get away
From that same old way
Yeah, everybody needs a little change

Steven headed south out of L.A. in the fog
That life'll drive you crazy, he needed to be a little border better off
Steven headed south out of L.A. in the fog

It's wide open out here where the wind don't know your name
Yes it's wide open when you're trying to get away
From that same old way
Yeah, everybody needs a little change

He saw her on a beach somewhere, Pacific Ocean tides
Both are breathing cleaner air, both came here to hide
He saw her on a beach somewhere, Pacific Ocean tide

Sometimes the hottest embers they lie underneath the smoke
Sometimes the best beginnings come from underneath the old
Steven and Melissa never left old Mexico

It's wide open out here where the wind don't know your name
Yes it's wide open when you're trying to get away
From that same old way
Yeah, everybody needs a little change
