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 k** 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 k** 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
