Sweet Tea Songtext
Coming back like this feels empty
I feel like the air in a glass
To swim down to her could drown me
Though it's half empty, and she's down there waving at me
Stop the van, I wanna get out
It feels wrong to be speeding through
Stop the van, we're in the homeland
And I need a moment:
I wanna feel the dry grass crumble
Between my fingers into dust so fine
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind
Cresting the Ozark mountains
And there's no time to stop by
We're making a beeline for Austin
A few weeks driftin'
Stay lifted
I can't take the comedown
I feel her presence everywhere
But she's nowhere in view
I wanna come back here alone
Take a moment or two:
I'm drinking deep of that sweet tea
On her porch in a parallel time
I wanna try to solve the mystery of
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind
Feel the wind that leaves the corpse bare:
I feel like the air in a glass
To swim down to her could drown me
Though it's half empty, and she's down there waving at me
Stop the van, I wanna get out
It feels wrong to be speeding through
Stop the van, we're in the homeland
And I need a moment:
I wanna feel the dry grass crumble
Between my fingers into dust so fine
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind
Cresting the Ozark mountains
And there's no time to stop by
We're making a beeline for Austin
A few weeks driftin'
Stay lifted
I can't take the comedown
I feel her presence everywhere
But she's nowhere in view
I wanna come back here alone
Take a moment or two:
I'm drinking deep of that sweet tea
On her porch in a parallel time
I wanna try to solve the mystery of
Brittle bones, brittle heart, brittle mind
