Landslide

a song—indie—key of C

where you are

is a place i never want to be

building walls

surround yourself with pride and greed

say your name

with a tear running over your face

crack a smile:

show the world your sweet disgrace

since i'll never kiss you

i'll have to keep you alive

a shot of whiskey

and a snow-covered five-hour drive

if there's a landslide

i'll let you keep me still

until i die

then burn me, burn me, eat your fill

while you think

think about the way you walk

does your mom

understand it when you talk?

does your dad

think about his little girl?

or does he keep

a woman from eating up the world?

since i'll never kiss you

i'll have to keep you alive

a shot of whiskey

and a snow-covered five-hour drive

if there's a landslide

i'll let you keep me still

until i die

then burn me, burn me, eat your fill

who said i

was angry, bitter, hateful still?

will you drool

until you leap up, eat your fill?

since i'll never kiss you

i'll have to keep you alive

a shot of whiskey

and a snow-covered five-hour drive

if there's a landslide

i'll let you keep me still

until i die

then burn me, burn me, eat your fill
