I think this time we barely felt the poison
We were comfortable with knowing we were dying
And I was begging you not to run away to Denver
Can't you see it brought about the end in me?
And I heard she was looking for a ride outta town
She was asking around for a nicer place to stay
And I heard she found some new friends out there
Who taught her how to kill the pain for a while, if just for the night
I think we saw there was nothing left to save
We grew up and away from all the promises we made
To pack up the car and run from a deadly summer sun
And settle in California and never come back down
And I heard she found some new friends out there
Who taught her how to kill the pain for a while
She found an apartment in a bad part of the city
She said, "It's not much to come home to
But it's not much to leave behind."
She's smoking a cigarette out behind the bar
And now she's touching his chest in the parking lot
And they're pressed up against his car
Well there's a better part of her out there
And she said she needs to find it
It's buried out in the mountains
And not in my arms anymore
