Western Nights Demo by Ethel Cain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's never looked my way before
On his Harley in the parking lot
Breaking into the ATMs
Sleeping naked when he gets too hot
I love you most when you're up inside me
Baby I get so scared, won't you hide me?
[Verse 2]
My baby shows his love in shades of black and blue
Starting fights at the bar across the street
Like you do
The neighbors beat on the wall
While I'm face-first in the bed
Show me how much I mean to you
While I'm lying in these sheets undrеssed
I'd hold the gun if you asked mе to
But if you love me like you say you do
Would you ask me to?
[Pre-Chorus]
Trouble's always gonna find you baby
But so am I
Crying only because I'm happy
Hold me across every state line
[Chorus]
I'm never gonna leave you, baby
Even if you lose what's left of your mind
Cause I love you more than all these stars out here
We lie under on these western nights
[Verse 3]
I haven't spoken to my daddy
In a long, long time
I don't want him to worry, but he knows I'll be alright
I never listen to my mother
When she told me to take care of myself
I was just so in love with you
My mind was somewhere else
[Pre-Chorus]
Trouble's always gonna find you baby
But so am I
Crying only because I'm happy
Hold me across every state line
[Chorus]
I'm never gonna lose you, baby
Even if you lose what's left of your mind
Cause I love you more than all these stars out here
Underneath these western skies
[Verse 4]
Through these western nights
Crying in the light of the TV static
I'll still be alright
Clinging onto you like some love-blind addict
I'll be screaming your name
Past the gas station trailing down the interstate
Maybe one of these days
We might not be good, but we'll be okay
He's never looked my way before
On his Harley in the parking lot
Breaking into the ATMs
Sleeping naked when he gets too hot
I love you most when you're up inside me
Baby I get so scared, won't you hide me?
[Verse 2]
My baby shows his love in shades of black and blue
Starting fights at the bar across the street
Like you do
The neighbors beat on the wall
While I'm face-first in the bed
Show me how much I mean to you
While I'm lying in these sheets undrеssed
I'd hold the gun if you asked mе to
But if you love me like you say you do
Would you ask me to?
[Pre-Chorus]
Trouble's always gonna find you baby
But so am I
Crying only because I'm happy
Hold me across every state line
[Chorus]
I'm never gonna leave you, baby
Even if you lose what's left of your mind
Cause I love you more than all these stars out here
We lie under on these western nights
