Sad, babe
Out here most days you don't like the way you are
Out here redemption's a song you sing in your car
Out here the coyotes come when you call them
I know i get brave but not all that often
I wished you were with me when i drove through cleveland
I was sadder than sad babe but not in a bad way
Out here i thought we'd arrive in a city of stars
Then i saw the universe sitting alone at a bar
And i saw her leaving when we were sixteen
And i knew what she wanted and it wasn't me
Then the lights took the mirrors and bam it got clearer
I was sadder than sad babe but not in a bad way
Out here i passed him his airbags a cumulus cloud
I got to his suv just as he tried getting out
Blood on his forehead but boy was he laughing
And asking the night sky hey what the hell happened
Hey call my ex wife he said say to come get me
Say larry's sorry say larry just had two drinks
Like three hours later i turned on the radio
Prx poetry call it fear joy harjo
Call it a church choir call it an ocean
Call it a race horse's ribcage exploding
If he's got the whole world then why does he waste it
If mary's a virgin why wouldn't she hate him
If larry's a drunk i think we could take him
Hey larry hey larry hey larry you're shaking
Out here the singing birds seem to stay longer each year
You've always been anxious but it's getting worse out here
When did we give up and who did we lose to
Where's brutus when you need him
Where's pedro albizu
What's beautiful here in the nothing the new moon
The no place we're going the no one to sing to
Even this song i'm writing is not what i want
One day it's worth fighting the next it's just not
I know that i'm guilty even more than most maybe
Hey larry hey larry it's you and me baby
And you've got a right to
I lied to you first
I wanted salvation
That just made it worse
The car was a crescent
The road was a sky
I was light in the darkness
I was barely alive
Hey baby keep going
Out here most days you don't like the way you are
You got what you need and some days you got it by far
I'm not gonna just say it's fine i forgive you
But baby out here the truth is i do
And it occurred to me you might've forgiven me too
I was sadder than sad babe but not in a bad way
