Mississippi - Live Stripped Version 03:49
lyrics
buy track
I’m saving my writing for Brooklyn Soaking up everything I can There's no time to write when I'm singing every night Driving eight hours a day And they tell me drive safe But I'd likely be better at driving If i were driving with you rather than driving on my own I’ve pulled a U-ey three times today And I'm on the Mississippi I’m in a different city Don't you think I look pretty Sitting by myself I'm wearing my sister’s hand-me-downs My hair’s in knots past my shoulders now I’ve been in three thousand towns And I’ve been telling myself Chorus: That just because your connection was fleeting Doesn't mean that it didn't exist And just because your love was competing Doesn't mean they thought you were shit And just because he read it Doesn't mean you shouldn't have texted ‘There's no room for regret In this lifetime,’ he said. ‘Don’t be fucked in the head.’ And I felt an intimacy with you I hadn't felt in a while A kind of blurring in my head I didn't know with other guys So I tried to keep it together Tried to nail you down good I was so swept up with conserving Every ounce that I could And I'm on the Mississippi I’m in a different city Don't you think I look pretty Sitting by myself I'm wearing my sister’s hand-me-downs My hair’s in knots past my shoulders now I’ve been in three thousand towns And I’ve been telling myself Chorus: That just because your connection was fleeting Doesn't mean that it didn't exist And just because your love was competing Doesn't mean they thought you were shit And just because he read it Doesn't mean you shouldn't have texted ‘There's no room for regret In this lifetime,’ he said.

Sorry I Ever Fucked You - Live Stripped Version 04:48
lyrics

Well we both live in Brooklyn But that's not much to say When getting to your apartment takes all fucking day When the G isn't running on Sunday So I held that excuse for why it wasn't working out And then I saw you in my neighborhood with your ex-girlfriend all cracked out Thinking of the holes in your underwear And the mattress on the floor I never hated someone so and loved the smell of their neck even more You had to have a nightcap You probably want your life back Which is why you told your other girlfriend She could stay indefinitely in your bed But I’m thinking of the mornings I spent nuzzled in your hair My feet tucked under you on your wicker chair And the muffin you bought me that I reluctantly shared Chorus: I thought we were friends I thought I could trust you When you were sober I thought I even loved you I'm sorry I ever fucked you I'm sorry I ever fucked you And then I felt so strong when I said it's over You said don't be crazy, called me baby I said don't call me baby, fucking crazy And then I waited for your call I thought you would call me I thought you'd sorry Why are my thoughts so wrong lately Who the fuck ever taught me I thought you were real But it’s just a game in your head Just a passage of time ‘til you're dead I keep picturing her in your bed But I’m thinking of the mornings I spent nuzzled in your hair My feet tucked under you on your wicker chair And the muffin you bought me that I reluctantly shared Chorus: I thought we were friends I thought I could trust you When you were sober I thought I even loved you I'm sorry I ever fucked you I’m sorry I ever fucked you I thought we were friends I thought I could trust you When you were sober I thought I even loved you I'm sorry I ever fucked you I'm sorry I ever fucked you I've never been with a man in the state that I'm from What does that have to say about how I fall in love This is beginning to feel like it's more than coincidence, more than bad luck Like a me problem, well fuck...

I called you Sittin’ in my car in Portland It was raining Like it often is in Portland You sounded different You sounded calm, i got dizzy I told you i crashed my car Told you I've been singin’ about you, pretty You said something stupid I forgot how simple you are And you're not the only one That I've called in the car I started laughing End the call abruptly You tried to keep me on the line Tell me something you thought was funny Chorus: And you've been my muse Your heart was the one I used I drained your story I made it less boring I've been done with my mourning I’ve forgotten what it was for and It's ok that you found an easier love And it's ok that you didn't try hard enough And I will learn what I'm really made of On my own in this car and something I've created And I left you hanging The last message you sent To check up on me I wonder if it's got you bent up thinking If I'll ever forgive you I'll do more, I'll thank you For not letting me waste my life on loving you I see your kids now Running around in the garden where we made out I’m not surprised She looks just like me It took me two years to realize That I was the one who really left you Chorus: And you've been my muse Your heart was the one I used I drained your story I made it less boring I've been done with my mourning I’ve forgotten what it was for and It's ok that you found an easier love And it's ok that you didn't try hard enough And I will learn what I'm really made of On my own in this car and something I've created And I look ahead I see great things I see curly hair I see babies We're always changing And that's the only thing that ever stays And I threw the boxers out with the sweater Deleted your last loving text Got rid of years full of messages Every argument, every sext I even threw your mom's painting out I'm working on that bracelet now Creating space.

Road Thoughts - Live Stripped Version 04:12
lyrics

Try to teach my myself to be alone but not lonely Who to trust, honey I am the only one for you there ‘Cause it's a long, long drive through Wyoming And I'm waiting for the moment that my phone rings That might be ages from now That might be pages from now You've got this babe It wasn't your time You've had the love some only dream of in your life You know the grass is always greener I've seen happy people meaner Because love's an awful project that gets in the way And I just called this guy I used to see in Brooklyn ‘Cause I was curious the direction that he's lookin’ in If he'll be marrying that chick who's tryna wife him But it doesn't matter anymore Yea well he answered but he was hiking in New York I want attention, so it wasn’t gonna work Wanted to get a rise out of him Wanted to see some life out of him All i got was lies out of him You've got this babe It wasn't your time You've had the love some only dream of in your life You know the grass is always greener I've seen happy people meaner Because love's an awful project that gets in the way i need to amend my comprehension of the order of things What comes first? How to make it work? Are these the only things? i need to find some peace within all this uncertainty I need to find some other meaning so I can keep my dreams You've got this babe It wasn't your time You've had the love some only dream of in your life You know the grass is always greener I've seen happy people meaner Because love's an awful project that gets in the way
