Lyrics

She said she isn't spiritual Just really likes the rituals It helps her think about herself Small and insignificant He says she matters tons to him And he can barely sleep some nights Loves her so damn much sometimes It makes him sort of dizzy And they park down off the causeway And they brush away the bottles And he spreads out the blanket And the breeze blows off the water And he's only just in Jacksonville For two years and a couple months Plattsburgh just got strange after His cousin shot his gun off And he says Lisa I'm not joking I'd be dead if I didn't meet you There's a few things back in Plattsburgh I just can't go back to He says Lisa, I'm not kidding I want to be your husband Just grant me some forgiveness Someone died that didn't have to She grew up in the area She's never been much anywhere But they fly in from all over Just to be here where we're sitting And that seems like a good sign And that seemed like a reason And she likes the way the sunshine Makes her hair light in the summer And she loves to go out dancing She never eats much dinner And her first husband played baseball And the next one was a monster And she's finally gotten over The panic and the nightmares So she can't even care about What happened up in Plattsburgh She says Marvin, why so anxious? I'm just finally feeling normal Let's just sit here on this blanket Feel the breeze blow off the water The way the wind makes waves in sawgrass Sunshine as it dances on her skin And when you take him as your savior He forgives us for our trespasses and sins And when he gets home in the evening He writes a letter to his cousin Who's just waiting out a sentence Up in central Pennsylvania He said I think you'd like the weather here The breeze blows off the water I met a perfect woman And I'm gonna try to marry her When you get out, come down here Stay with us until you're settled Lisa goes to mass on Sundays We'll get breakfast ready And when she gets back we'll surprise her We'll sit down at the table Breeze blows off the water And everything is normal
