Idlewild
Travis

It was upon row of houses

Tight skirts and baggy trousers

Green men and cheap disguises

High hopes and higher rises

Who lived a girl who was on a mission

Who lived a boy who was under suspicion

Tried hard to stay beside her

Until the devil put his seed inside her

How?

You know how

Speak[?] to love and the sand runs out

So close to midnight

Time to fly

Do or die

Stung in the headlights

Here we lie

High and dry

The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes

Say goodnight

Kill the light

The world will never hear you tonight

Idlewild

For two years he tried to reach her

Worshiped the ground beneath her

She, she was always running

He, he saw the end was coming

But now the story takes a turn

She wakes up and her sheets are burning

Head down against the fire

Now, now, now the table turns

She won't learn

Sleep to love and your bed starts burning

So close to midnight

Idlewild you don't know

You never need to

Here we lie

High and dry

The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes

Say goodnight

Kill the light

The world will never hear you tonight

Idlewild

Idlewild

I thought that we were good together

I thought that we could weather the weather

Whether or not that wise is the word for us

That high hopes are only there because, because

Because I thought the only thing between us

Was something shallow not a river so deep (we see us)

Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us

Lay it on the banks to rot and fester

Now it's scarlet and I hanging like a death star

And Gretna Green dark and Manchester

I don't want to hear it now

Here we lie

High and dry

The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes

Say goodnight, kill the light

The world will never hear you tonight

Idlewild

Idlewild

Kill the light

Idlewild
