Drains to the Mississippi

Lyrics

[Verse] So where did August go? The leaves are shriveled up and dead What started yellow Has turned to gray, I turned you red I was suffocating, so I took a breath and let you go You left me leaning, I spent the evening Pounding sand with pounding head [Pre-Chorus] I woke up to the rain and it won't be the same And it won't be the same here without you So goodbye and good luck, know it won't be the same And it won't be the same and it won't be the same [Chorus] I was kinda drunk that night, you know And now I'm outside kicking stones Getting drunk on grief, down and incomplete Walking Carson Street alone The summer heat, it grabbed me by The neck and hung me out to dry Dropping into cold, twist my fists in folds Of my winter clothes [Verse] So where did August go? The leaves are shriveled up and dead What started yellow Has turned to gray, I turned you red I was suffocating, so I took a breath and let you go You left me leaning, I spent the evening Pounding sand with pounding head [Pre-Chorus] I woke up to the rain and it won't be the same And it won't be the same here without you So goodbye and good luck, know it won't be the same And it won't be the same and it won't be the same [Chorus] I was kinda drunk that night, you know And now I'm outside kicking stones Getting drunk on grief, down and incomplete Walking Carson Street alone The summer heat, it grabbed me by The neck and hung me out to dry Dropping into cold, twist my fists in folds Of my winter clothes alone [Outro] I'm going home To an empty room, to a cave on Orchard Road Absurd fucking world Feel like dropping dead, but I laugh instead Dumb guy, smart girl
