Skeleton Key

Verse: 1 Half asleep with the sun coming up out east We're driving down Garfield Ave when you said a strange and significant thing I can remember the words - "this was a beautiful night It won't, it won't ever happen this way again" Pre-Chorus: No, my dear, nothing much grows around here We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took The setting can't be nowhere else in the world And the story opens up with you Your broken dreams and cheap perfume You're on a city bus, the rain it falls Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls And I stumble on from Uptown bars I guess that's all I've got so far Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how You save me and you save yourself Verse: 2 It ends so soon, the night and the fading moon I put my hand inside yours, the city looks strange and significant I know these streets, the place where I'll live and die Resigned to that fact, but I, I'm hoping it happens this way again Pre-Chorus No, my dear, nothing much grows around here We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took The setting can't be nowhere else in the world And the story opens up with you Your broken dreams and cheap perfume You're on a city bus, the rain it falls Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls And I stumble on from Uptown bars I guess that's all I've got so far Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how You save me and then you save yourself Interlude And the story opens up with you Your broken dreams and cheap perfume You're on a city bus, the rain it falls Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls And I stumble on from Uptown bars I guess that's all I've got so far Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how You save me and then you save yourself Outro Fall asleep to the radio Try to keep what I got from you Hard to do in these dreary days
