[Verse 1]
God gave you red light
On every green road sign
When you left Santa Fe
We were two string beans
And you were too nineteen
To be blowin' away
[Hook]
There were thieves in the square
Hidin' hands and hidin' prayers
And all their mumblin'
Nothing left you alone
Tangled heels and tiny vireos
Singin' something
[Verse 2]
Stuck with her pin curls
Your mama was scared of the world
It was born with a bang
I was steppin' on seashells
By the old Mission San Miguel
When a bell tower rang
[Hook]
And the sky fell apart
Heard the rain, I heard your heart
And what was spoken
'Cause nothin' bends for a name
Nothin' wants to stay the same
And nothing's broken
God gave you red light
On every green road sign
When you left Santa Fe
We were two string beans
And you were too nineteen
To be blowin' away
[Hook]
There were thieves in the square
Hidin' hands and hidin' prayers
And all their mumblin'
Nothing left you alone
Tangled heels and tiny vireos
Singin' something
[Verse 2]
Stuck with her pin curls
Your mama was scared of the world
It was born with a bang
I was steppin' on seashells
By the old Mission San Miguel
When a bell tower rang
[Hook]
And the sky fell apart
Heard the rain, I heard your heart
And what was spoken
'Cause nothin' bends for a name
Nothin' wants to stay the same
And nothing's broken
