Lyrics
I burned everything I own
Left it in a pile, smoldering
Took about a foot
Out into the wood like an animal
Hopped upon a tree
Slept there underneath the birds and planes
Woke up to find that I was alone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Took a man's ride with an eagle eye, I was careless
Rolling down the road, in from the cold, I was tripping
He took me to his lair
Said we should be married, with a grin
I refused to make amends
Refused to wallow in it anymore
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
So I telephone my friend
Take the upper hand for the first time
Down on our knees
Digging out the weeds of all the years
I reserve my right to speak
Reserve my right to see it all out
One day you'll, you'll see that I, I'm gone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The first time was the best time
The hurting, the crying was heaven
It filled me with an ache
It filled me with the shake of an earthquake
The next time, well it was fine
It was dignified, but it wore away
I've been searching to find the words that I need to recall
The day the words simplify
Is the day you get home and you see that I
When you fall in love and you realize I'm gone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
