lyrics

shifting shaking modern love
her auburn hair in bed
tamed just like a lioness
her little crown above her head
well no one could have whisked you
far enough from here
and no one ever will
but if one boy could change your mind
then I guess there’s hope
for some young love, still
light my cigarette and sing
the only living boy
this side of the mountain range
is a bus too far for a girl with wings
no matter how many times
I can tell you to go
and be gone like a tramp
in the world alone
only god ever knows
where your garden will grow
but I guess he ‘aint at home
we’re only wasting our time
if we’re too young to care
Chelsea, make me feel
lighter than air
wait
was the light ok?
did it cover up my old mistakes?
you say it’s a dead-end freeze
but the crowd will sing
if you promise me you’ll wait
there’s a girl up here
and a boy out there
and we’ll always seem to wait
and we'll always seem to wait
take some time here to run around
you know we’ll all be Coleman County bound
shed some love on a winded dime
you’ll run out of luck in time
nobody cares what you’re singing
if you’re saying it low
nobody cares where your going
if you go it alone
and your garden will grow
if you tell it to grow
and you’ll be what you are
when you’re old
we’re only wasting our time
