So this is what I can believe
 
 Is what I said to my friend
 
 And I can recall
 
 I must have been pretty gone
 
 When I went through these towns
 
 Like a cannonball
 
  
  And I've already grown up here
 
 Here I might as well grow down
 
 It's all shaky, built in fury
 
 But I think this wind's going to settle down
  
 
 Carolina, why are we going with this around?
 
 It's all silvery, dear, it's the light of little nowhere towns
  
 
 But the treasure we had was so big
 
 And we sunk through the earth
 
 And believe how slow
  
 
 Sun wasn't out for all week
 
 And the weekend just said
 
 There's just none to show
  
 
 And I barely can remember
 
 Little feet on solid ground
 
 The drinking part is useless
 
 When you're buried away from sounds
  
 
 Carolina, where are you ending up this time?
 
 Say it's silvery, dear, like the light of little nowhere towns
  
 
 But now honestly I'm broken down
 
 By this emptiness I feel
 
 First you moan, and then you yell it
 
 And now we don't answer across the street
  
 
 And I'm racing through my pockets now
 
 Because I'm starting to believe
 
 That selling emptiness to strangers
 
 Is a little bit warmer than my dreams
  
 
 This is what I should believe
 
 Is what I said to my friend
 
 And I can recall
 
 I must have been pretty cold
 
 When I went through this house
 
 Like a cannonball
  
 
 And I barely can remember
 
 Asking you through all this time
 
 It's all shaky, built in fury
 
 Like this wind is going to settle down
  
 
 Carolina, where are we going to be found?
 
 You're all silvery, dear, you're the light of little nowhere towns
