[Verse 1]
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
When our telephone was a tin can on a string
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you weren't afraid to die
[Verse 2]
In polaroids, you were dressed in women's clothes
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer?
Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more
[Chorus 1]
Than when you turned away, when you slammed the door
When you stole a car and drove towards Mexico
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
I was young enough, I still believed in war
[Verse 3]
Well, let the poets cry themselves to sleep
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam
[Chorus 2]
But me, I'm a single cell, on a serpent's tongue
There's a muddy field where a garden was
And I'm glad you got away, but I'm still stuck out here
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
When our telephone was a tin can on a string
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you weren't afraid to die
[Verse 2]
In polaroids, you were dressed in women's clothes
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer?
Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more
[Chorus 1]
Than when you turned away, when you slammed the door
When you stole a car and drove towards Mexico
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
I was young enough, I still believed in war
[Verse 3]
Well, let the poets cry themselves to sleep
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam
[Chorus 2]
But me, I'm a single cell, on a serpent's tongue
There's a muddy field where a garden was
And I'm glad you got away, but I'm still stuck out here
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears
