Come what may, I've seen better days
She was going to marry me, she packed up and walked away
She hopped a train out to LA
said I'll see her again on the big screen
My Adelaide
Heard things were going great then life got in the way
she stayed high most her days waiting for that break
so she rode that train down to Santa Fe
looking for a better life and a clean slate
Adelaide
She was all tied in ways
tired of staying in one place,
of changing names
my Adelaide
She got herself a man and he had himself a plan
to put her up on stage and change her name
now you can catch her most days down at Diamonds and Lace
she goes by the name Destiny, My Adelaide

Intentions

When I was young I often said I'd die alone
an optimist with nothing left but a heart made stone
and oh, it made me see things through blue colored shades
and it made me someone I hate
So with a tarnished soul and a bruised ego I let state
to the open plains in search of a sense of belonging
and there you found me worn, tired, and hungry
starving for your company
now here we lie, our breath in the night, staring at constellations
your hand in mine, our legs intertwined, we laid out our intentions
but I know soon this will pass
and I'll end up alone again

Drying Out

Swollen head and eyes are bloody red
stumbling to clock in
another night you swore would be your last
oh but you really needed it
and you have this way with your words
when it comes to your health and yourself
just a star trying to burn
anything for another one
because no man can understand
the weight of an empty glass
in your shaking hand
and you built this home in hopes that she'd stay
you hung up every memory
and now these walls are nothing but a tomb
where every frame mocks you
and you have this way with your words
when it comes to your health and yourself
just a star trying to burn
anything for another one
because no man can understand
the weight of an empty glass
in your shaking hand
you're drying out
you're changing your ways

Settling

|

the sun is shining in
warming up your side of the bed
and the dog is barking to go out
but I can't seem to come around
I've got nowhere to be and that's fine by me
lately I've been feeling so melancholy
now the dust is settling
on the shelves that once held your things
and our burning love is just
ashes scattered across the hearth
I've got nowhere to be and that's fine by me
lately I've been feeling so melancholy
lately, been feeling so melancholy,
lately, lately
and now I'm settling
I've got nowhere to be and that's fine by me
lately I've been feeling so melancholy
