someone tipped the scales & watched the waters flood

they blew out all the windows, caked the walls with mud

& everybody knows when it hits in the south

that is a land that we will learn to live without

that is a house that we have learned to live without



when ruins come in pieces with no pictures to recall

when you cant find a light to break or bright the 

shadows on the wall

everytime that we declare this is it, im giving up

there comes a push, there comes a push, there comes a 

push

& we dont sit down what we do is get back up



it was an idea that we had & a bad idea at that

i wanna be loved by you, i sure do



lets learn to be alone together, lets cry our fucking 

eyes out cuz we know no one will care for us

lets go home alone together, lets fuck & lets expect it 

when we dont feel any better



there goes the best damn summer that we ever spent

drinking on the porch, rolling our own cigarettes

jumping up & down in our panties on the bed, screaming,

that was the best summer that we will ever have

& we believed it



so wont you take me to the kitchen of yr ex-wifes house

bore me with details of all the papers youve put out

& i cant tell when youre gonna figure out

that any line you use tonight will work

because were both as fucking broken as we look
