Austin, Massachusetts

You wore cowboy boots and a smoking gun,
a second hand killer if i ever knew one.
I'm the reason why your bed was warm,
but i was never there whenever you got home .
We haven't talked in weeks,
but that doesn't mean you stopped starring in my dreams.

You can roll me if you wanna,
you can drive the getaway car,
but can you let the melody resolve?

All the boys in town wear glasses,
the girls have rubber knees,
just like you and me.
the snow looks just like ashes,
falling from the trees, buries everything.
The mothers in the kitchen,
(she's) calling kids back in from the streets.
Cause the winter wind is coming,
and the daydreamers all get carried away.

You can roll me if you wanna,
you can drive the getaway car,
but can you let the melody resolve?
Control me, if you wanna,
but tell me who you are,
can you let the melody resolve?

I've seen the ghosts,
and a heart of gold, please don't let go.

There's more bars in town than churches,
all the kids they dress in black,
and i can't find the words to bring you back.
