went into the hospital
sat inside of the chapel
we talked for hours about
how we dream about
all the endless possibilities
that are as endless as the love
that i’m feeling for you
…in that moment
shining on me
i’m like a deer in headlights
i wonder if you’re watching me
if you are do i look like a possessed motherfucker?
if that’s so, maybe so
i could use this for the music video
cherry on my cigarette, baby, follow the light
i’ve always been on the beaten down path
oh, its just the same old shit
cherry off a cigarette
and i knew you were lying
but i never felt as beautiful as i did then
so i spent all summer with you
on the fairgrounds, jokers wild
we ran through them crowds
and we hitched a ride
on the tractor hitch
the ferris wheel reflecting,
shining on the pond
where the other kinds from school
use Red Bull cans for bongs
cherry on my cigarette, baby, follow the light
i’ve always been on the beaten down path
oh, its just the same old shit
shining on me
i’m like a deer in headlights
i wonder if you’re watching me
if you are do i look like a possessed motherfucker?
if that’s so, maybe so
i could use this for the music video
cherry on my cigarette, baby, follow the light
i’ve always been on the beaten down path
oh, its just the same old shit
∞
the old mill is on fire
after weathering the storms
the torches that were lit by yourself
at yourself in your dreams, hey, chill it, man
you’re ill, but so are they
chill out, my man, you’re fragile and so are they
