lyrics

Winter falls a blanket calls
I let you down
Been a little on edge since we left the big city for this sleepy old town
We sit and stare separate but there thinking you need me now
You got your eyes looking down but you're good at facing facts, hoping I'll come around
But I don't know how

You say my name, I turn away, it's all the little things
They say that everyone has changed they all look the same
They haven't changed
I turn around and all I see are clouds, but the in-laws tell me how
It's all what I choose to believe

They say settle down boy settle down boy settle down boy
They say lighten up boy lighten up boy listen up boy

You changed your name you changed your scene
We thought we knew it all
We took a trip up the coast carved some letters in a tree
We had it figured out
We turned around and all we saw were clouds and the dna
Was all we wanted to believe

They say settle down boy settle down boy settle down boy
They say lighten up boy lighten up boy listen up boy

I feel the thickness in the middle creeping in a little
Late to the party i'd say
I know in this moment you want it, you want it,
You're about to make a big mistake
I guess you never seen a lizard twitching and a shiver,
Slither with its tail half in the grave
I don't believe in the star signs the palm lines,
I don't believe in the deep state

Give me that liquor quicker refuse to salute
Those motherfuckers up there singing the blues
I feel so much better lick the salt from my wounds
Don't need no more jack white dudes singing the blues
Give me that liquor quicker refuse to salute
Those motherfuckers up there singing the blues
