Hailey

(album: Paint It Golden - 2011)

Yeah, I got what I wanted
They bled out my organs
They cut me wide open till I grinned
Guess it's time

Doctors came right in
Said he most likely won't win
But who the hell am I?
Spent my life in the midwest

Hailey, if you're out there
I wish you all the very best, dear
Yeah, got me away from there
And Hailey, if you're out there
I hope you made it through December
Yeah, that seems like such a blur

It was always the same shit
At that damn apartment
Yeah baseline took its toll, took its toll
It's my fault

She loved those nights when
We'd breathe up that black air
Yeah, come on tell me how, tell me how
I'm not underground

Hailey, if you're out there
I wish you all the very best, dear
Yeah, got me away from there
And Hailey, if you're out there
I hope you made it through December
Yeah, that seems like such a blur
