I wake to find that my skin shimmers in the light
Sweet mess of mine left her mark on me last night
It seems she stays slightly longer every day
Eventually she'll never have to leave
She's my goodnight, she's my countryside
And I love every line she sings so out of time
She's making me the luckiest soul on this side of the Mississippi River
As we ride our bikes her path is slightly misaligned
But we're still so sly, avoiding her mother as she drives by
It's clear to see I'm off my guard when she's with me
If you saw her you would stumble over words like I do
I wake to find my luck is certainly divine
This marvel of mine leaves her mark on me every time

See how they twirl in dresses as white as the sun
Our skin has aged though we've many miles left to run
Where is the wonder, the beauty, the rhyme
Since I followed your speeches
To dark, dirty breaches
Now please let me go
Chorus
Why would you tell me it's as good as gone
When good has been missing here for too damn long
And it sure ain't gone for good
Why leave so soon they love you in your dirty dress
So what, we've changed, it's all for the best
Now I know how to take you
To bend and to break you
I won't let you go
Chorus
Oh love me as you should
Where have the good girls all run to
They said come on get pretty
Let's head for the city
And get by
