I met a girl from Brownsville

She kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill,

I told her about my friends back home

What they'd say-



How she spoke



Lasting Words in the lasting night

And every time I see a boat by a lake

I want to jump up and say

Let's row away from everything.



Said she was a cutter

And I said my dad's a preacher man.

I took her to the boat out down by the lake



I kindly took her by the hand

Just to make her understand

I took her to the boat out down by the lake



And just when everything was said

I hugged her hard around her head

I told her there are things that we shouldn't say



Now watch me say them



I tore her down today



Everything just goes away

But the scars you hide today

And you don't want to say

Everything just goes away.
