lyrics

borne back into the future
i think i read that in a book when i was young
but maybe i just got the words wrong
and maybe everything is borrowed from the gone
its been a while since i heard thunder
or counted seconds until i could see its face
its been a while since i have loved you
it's been an hour since i've thought of how you taste

but i don't wanna die here
hell i don't even wanna live if i can't hope
for something richer than a paycheck
and something sweeter than the dagger at my throat
tell the kanawha i got famous
and died poetic on the side of the low road
where every angel knows a love song
and stray bullets sing never go back home

out here everything's a circle
and you can live and die until you get it right
oh god your body's like the ocean
i guess i've always been obsessed with the great white
but i was young and i was hungry
confusing beauty for the way a war can glow
pretty girl, you laugh like peacetime
i think i could have loved you better had i known

whats a heart to me
whats a drop of rain to the sea
if we're born again in rags i hope we understand the means
whats a heart to me
whats a drop of rain to the see
if we're born again in rags i hope we meet up in a dream
and we shed our clothes
till were skin and bone and roads
if we cross i hope you recognize my laugh and let me go
you've got to let me go
