Another Is Waiting - The Avett Brothers

It’s a fake, it’s a hoax

It’s a nowhere road where no one goes

Anywhere, anyhow

Well you’re following your heart rate down

She’s a rose, she’s a queen

But she’s staring at a magazine

In the dark, on that path

Where they doctor every photograph

Another is waiting

She isn’t saying anything

If you care, if you like

Well, I’m standing in the lantern light

With our weapons and our love

And I use them both to cover up

But I love you and I care

So you’ve got to get off that conveyor belt

If I could

I would come right in and take you off myself

It’s a fake, it’s a con

The nature of the road you’re on

Let me see your skeleton

Well before your life is done
