Southern Live Oaks

Lost in thought from the drugs we bought
The bayou is singing its lust
And I'm losing trust
That its song is for us

Gold when we're thrown but we're trash when we land
I'll find you and ask to say hi
Tell me a lie
Enough to get by

I don't expect to remember it
I'll cross my heart til it hurts to breathe
Stops me to say that it's only 'ok' when the melody
Carries us over sea

Unsteady ground, but still hanging around
It's an island cut out from a lake
Making mistakes
And calling too late

The secret's out and I'm too stoned to shout;
I'm a circle cut out from a square
Tell me you'll care
And ask me what's fair

I don't expect to remember it
I'll sell myself 'til it's time to leave
Playing pretend, I'll see you again when we're melody
When the wind takes us out over sea
