oh baby here comes the sound
i took a train outta new orleans
and they shot me full of ephedrine
this is how we like to do it in the murder scene
can we settle up the score

if you were here i'd never have a fear
so go on live your life
but i miss you more than i did yesterday

you're beautiful
well i'm a total wreck and almost every day
like the firing squad or the mess you made
well don't i look pretty walking down the street
in the best damn dress i own

if you were here i'd never have a fear
so go on live your life
but i miss you more than i did yesterday
you're so far away
so c'mon show me how
cause i mean this more than words can ever say

we are young and we don't care
your dreams and your hopeless hair
we never wanted it to be this way
for all our lives
do you care at all?

if you were here i'd never have a fear
so go on live your life
but i miss you more than i did yesterday
you're so far away
so c'mon show me how
cause i mean this more than words can ever say
