Song lyrics

So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes,
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight,
So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine,
For reasons wretched and divine.
She blows outta nowhere, Roman candle of the wild,
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise,
No other version of me I would pretend to be tonight,
‘Cause, Lord, she found me just in time.
‘Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done,
I need to be youthfully felt, ‘cause, God, I never felt young.

She's gonna save me,
Call me “baby”,
Run her hands through my hair,
She'll know me crazy,
Soothe me daily,
Better yet, she wouldn't care.
We'll steal her Lexus,
Be detectives,
Ride round picking up clues,
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson,
Raise ‘em on rhythm and blues.

Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime,
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine.
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside,
Sit back and watch the world go by.
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust,
We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us.

She's gonna save me,
Call me “baby”,
Run her hands through my hair,
She'll know me crazy,
Soothe me daily,
Better yet, she wouldn't care.
We'll steal her Lexus,
Be detectives,
Ride round picking up clues,
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson,
Raise ‘em on rhythm and blues.

Cut clean from the dream at night, let my mind reset,
Looking up from the cigarette, and she's already left.
I start thinking up the art for what's left of me in our little vignette
For whatever poor soul is coming next.

She's gonna save me,
Call me “baby”,
Run her hands through my hair,
She'll know me crazy,
Soothe me daily,
Better yet, she wouldn't care.
We'll steal her Lexus,
Be detectives,
Ride round picking up clues,
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson,
Raise ‘em on rhythm and blues.
