So tired tryin' to see from behind the red in my eyes
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
Soul deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
For reasons wretched and divine
She blows out of nowhere, a Roman candle of the wild
Laughin' her way through my feeble disguise
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
And, Lord, she found me just in time
'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt
'Cause, God, I never felt young
She's gonna save me, call me baby
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily
Better yet, she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives
Ride 'round pickin' up clues
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
Me and my Isis growin' black irises in the sunshine
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
We'd sit back and watch the world go by
Happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust
We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us
She's gonna save me, call me baby
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily
Better yet, she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives
Ride 'round pickin' up clues
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
Cut clean from the dream at night, let my mind reset
Lookin' up from a cigarette, she's already left
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me in our little vignette
For whatever poor soul is comin' next
She's gonna save me, call me baby
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily
Better yet, she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus, be detectives
Ride 'round pickin' up clues
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues
