lyrics

Well, what if we’re all that remains in this last remaining light?
Oh this wanton wasteland, standing next to me
You’ll be staying up all night

This was the place in warmer days,
We went swimming after dark
In the twilight hues, I sang to you
The way I’d done in all of them honky-tonks and bars
I sang to you, I sang to you
When your boyfriend saw, he broke my jaw -
Anything you want me to

Showed up in your parents’ car – top down
And in that midday Marfa sun, your eyes were wide
Down at that swimming hole - that’s where I’ll show you all the edges, baby
Like rainfall in the embers, oh like Christmas in July, yeah maybe
When your boyfriend finds out, he might hit me in the mouth -
But not yet

I’ll sing for you, I’ll Sing for you
I may have bruised lungs but oh I got a silver tongue -
Anything you want

Singin’ I-
How could I find you like that summertime, those were different days -
We were out of our minds
