You're dragging your feet in the mud
So your shoes are stained with blood
I wonder, when will she get here?
One by one they will fall
But you grind your teeth 'til they're raw
I wonder, does it get any better?
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing these proud new sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you ever look back down
She's nowhere to be found
I'm pulling my hair out my scalp
When I realize
Who would've thought I'd
Sing one song for this girl
Wherever she is in this world
Hope she'll realize, now or the next life
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing these proud new sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you ever look back down
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing proud, these sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you dare look back down
Yeah don't ever say you have it
Thinking like that can be tragic
So let me take it from the start
And how you fell apart
Yeah how it all went from "perfect"
To "throw it all and let's burn it"
So take what you need
I'm going back to those palm trees
Yeah I guess I finally feel like I deserved it
And I gotta make a point, though, I gotta make it worth it
'Cause if it happened, it happened, you know
You can't change that, that shit'll eat you alive
Gotta let it go, man
Yeah, we'll be up in the desert
Wearing proud, these sunburns
We're on our time
Don't you dare, don't you dare
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing these proud new sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you ever look back down
We'll be up in the desert
Wearing proud, these sunburns
We're on our own time now
Don't you dare look back down
