arkadelphia - waxahatchee lyrics

Loading...

i lose my grip, i drive out far
past fireworks at the old trailer park
and folding chairs, american flags
selling tomatoes at five bucks a bag

when she was young, she kept to herself
now she regrets sending me straight to h*ll
she kissed my cheek, she touched my skin
she said “you’re just as stupid as i was back then”

if i burn out like a lighbulb
they’ll say “she wasn’t meant for that life”
they’ll put it all in a capsule and save it for a dark night

when we were kids, free as the air
with a violence craving to turn up somewhere
a tap dancer, a memorized number
an avalanche of the deep red clay earth

when it got bad, arkadelphia road
i couldn’t cry, i just pick up the load
and feign a strength, try to force your hand
but you leave a promise wherever it may land

if you get real close to the ending
i hope you know i did what i could
we try to give it all meaning
glorify the grain of the wood
tell ourselves what’s beautiful and good

i hold on tight, come in from far
i watch the baby run around the yard
get lonely for what i’ll never know
losing the thread of a story, overtold

if we luck out, free as the air
with an unrest craving to spill everywhere
we’ll weigh what’s good and get real old
keep driving straight searching for a heart of gold

if we make pleasant conversation
i hope you can’t see what’s burning in me
to see a slip as a failure
a balance i couldn’t keep
you count the rings for truth you’ll never cheat
