Savannah Almost Killed Me

(album: Burn.Flicker.Die. - 2012)

Well Savannah almost killed me
With cheap beer and Irish whiskey
Singing songs loud and out of tune
She was a Bette Davis double
With diamonds on her knuckles
She knew every word to Born to Run

She was talking to some dead end
I said it looks like you could use a friend
Besides, this bar ain't a place for a girl like you
So we set off into the streetlights
Two kids on a summer weeknight
Skipping rocks and howling at the moon

So let's waste away tonight, let's drink it down so fast
If only I could've found a way to make these moments last
She took hold of this shipwrecked heart
Now I'm falling again, I'm falling apart

We spent the better part of the evening
Stumbling through these streets and
Praying to God we found our way back home
And when the key hit the front door
There was a trail of clothes on the bedroom floor
You were falling asleep, you looked up and said...

"Let's waste away tonight, let's drink it down so fast"
If only I could've found a way to make these moments last
You took hold of this shipwrecked heart
Now I'm falling again, I'm falling apart

Somebody tell Georgia I'm leaving
Tell her she's always on my mind
Somebody tell George everything's gonna be alright
Somebody tell Georgia goodbye
Goodbye
Tell her goodbye
Tell her goodnight
Tell her goodbye
