It was one hundred degrees
as we sat beneath
a willow tree
Whose tears didn't care
they just hung in the air
And refused to fall
to fall
And I knew I'd made
a horrible call
And now the state line
felt like the Berlin Wall
And there was no doubt
about which side I was on mhm
'Cause I built you
a home in my heart
With rotten wood and
it decayed from the start
'Cause you can't find
nothing at all
If there was nothing
there all along
No you can't find
nothing at all
If there was nothing
there all along
I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out
on homemade speed
And we shared a bed
in which I could not sleep
at all woo-hoo
Woo-hoo-ooh
'Cause at night
the sun in retreat
Made the skyline look
like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man
who was devouring us both
You're so cute when
you're slurring your speech
But they're closing the bar
and they want us to leave
And you can't find
nothing at all
If there was nothing
there all along
No you can't find
nothing at all
If there was nothing
there all along
I'm a war of head
versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak
my heart always speaks
Before I know what
it will say
And you can't find
nothing at all
If there was nothing
there all along
No you can't find
nothing at all
If there was nothing
there all along
And you can't find
nothing at all
If there was nothing
there all along
There were churches
theme parks and malls
But there was nothing
there all along
