Jessie and My Whetstone - Say Anything

To me the only thing left after a while

Was that night we watched

Documentaries up through morning

And then you kicked me out

You opened up your screen door

And threw me out off the porch

It was summer then and I drove home whistling

Muddy waters down the pike

And that was that: Our one sweet night together

Under highway signs

I watched our love start fluttering and dissipating

I counted all the headlights to make sure I was alright

Now I’m wondering

Is it me or is it me that can’t see silver linings?

So I fucked it up I watched you go

I saw my hand not dialing the phone

All I’m left to do is remember the dull room

Where we sat in blue stream light

Watching the strike of '59

I dreamed of wrecking my underwear

Oh can’t I touch your cheeks somewhere

Under dirt filled rainy nights

With my socks stuck in the mud

Please come dive in puddles with me

Our one sweet night together

Our one sweet night together

Our one sweet night together

Under highway signs

I watched our love start fluttering and dissipating

I counted all the headlights to make sure I was alright
