Highway Wildflowers

New haircuts and changing trees
I'm leaving your resigning the lease
Soon to be green leaves and everything in between, in between
Porch light on for me and you
My sister smoked at this age too
I knew we'd make it here after that there we dreamed about burned out it's a fuse

The day they put him in the ground the highway while flowers bent
Kiss me cause I'm grieving, We won't speak of it again

The vultures circle the parking lot
I know it's alright cause it's always wrong
I'm either hating you [A7or banging my [A]head on [C7]the wall
Cause I love you [A7when I wish that I could not
We burned all [Em]of last year's things
Prayed to [C7]become who we'd be
But my [A]best friends kiss and [Bm]hate each other every other week
If those old nails are finished why do I still hear the hammer swing

The kids have backyards and [Bm]their parents' cars
But we watch the world die every night And in the morning feel its breathing start

Wine and [Bm]water in our mason [C7]jars
Haven't talked since early March
My craving veins won't heal my [A]heart
God knows it's not my [A]fault
When I don't wreck it all
Springtime showed like [F]broken bones
Contɾide through a stethoscope
The things you [A7never want to [C7]see are always things that glow
We've all [Em]heard but we're all [Em]still asking to [C7]see
Oh, Elisha, who's your God and [Bm]where is he?
Have we all [Em]been blinking every time he splits the sea
Cause I've spent this year just waiting
For a sign I've seen for [Dm7]twenty-three
