lyrics

Coming back this way feels empty
I feel like the air in a glass
To swim down to her could drown me,
though it’s half empty
and she’s down there waving
at me

Stop the van, I wanna get out,
It feels wrong to be speeding through
Stop the van - we’re in the heartland,
and I need a moment

I wanna feel the dry grass crumble
between my fingers, into dust so fine,
Feel the wind that leaves the corpse bare -
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind

Cresting the Ozark mountains,
and there’s no time to stop by -
We’re making a beeline for Austin
A few days driftin’
Stay lifted
I can’t take the comedown, oh,

I feel her presence everywhere,
but she’s nowhere in view
I wanna come back here alone,
take a moment or two
I’m drinkin’ deep of that sweet tea
on her porch in a parallel time
I wanna try to solve the mystery of
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind
