Bending melody

hanging all along

and the gravel is cold.

[music] Then standing out here till my

coffee gets old. [music]

Same faded jacket, same subtle my face,

[music]

same rusted fence line, same crack

little case.

[music] I'm still by the roadside.

[music] It's all in my head.

But when you [music] find me

know [music] who I am

[music]

every

[music]

day

[music] praying the next Oh,

what's stopping you there?

I you love

my breath.

The one that you mocked in your teenage.

[music]

Your name on the wind sounds so quiet

[music] and thin

like it's almost afraid

to come away. [music]

I feel

[music]

it's in my head.

[music]

Hoping you'll find me

[music]

who I am.

I pou you a seed. Now I drank every drop

just to [music] set you both free.

[music]

Tail lights [singing] and hairlights

keep smearing the dust.

[music] My fingers grow stiff,

Oh, [screaming]

I'll stay till the rain. [music]

I'll stand here forever

to say your name.

Still by the roadside

[music]

till morning is through.

This old man is waiting.

Still waiting for you.

Heat. Heat.
