Highway Wildflowers by Juli Strawbridge Lyrics
[Verse 1]
New hair cuts and changing trees
I'm leaving, you're resigning the lease
Soon to be green leaves and everything is in between
In between
Porch light on for me and you
My sister smoked at this age too
We knew we'd make it here after that there we dreamed about burned out it's fuse
[Chorus]
The day they put him in the ground
The highway wildflowers bent
Kiss me 'cause I'm grieving
We won't spеak of it again
[Verse 2]
The vultures circle thе parking lot
I know it's alright 'cause it's always wrong
I'm either hating you or banging my head on the wall
'Cause I love you when I wish I could not
We burned all of last years things
Prayed to become who we’d be
But my best friends kiss then hate each other every other week
If those old nails are finished
Why do I still hear the hammer swing?
[Chorus]
The kids have backyards
And their parent's cars
But we watch the world die every night
Then in the morning feel its breathing start
[Verse 3]
Wine and water in our mason jars
Haven't talked since early March
My craving veins won't heal my heart
God knows it's not my fault
When I don't wreck it all
Springtime showed like broken bones
Contrite through a stethoscope
The things you never want to see are always things that glow
[Chorus]
We've all heard, but we're all still asking to see
Oh, Elisha, who's your God and where is He
Have we all been blinking every time he splits the sea
'Cause I've spent this year just waiting for a sign I've seen for 23
New hair cuts and changing trees
I'm leaving, you're resigning the lease
Soon to be green leaves and everything is in between
In between
Porch light on for me and you
My sister smoked at this age too
We knew we'd make it here after that there we dreamed about burned out it's fuse
[Chorus]
The day they put him in the ground
The highway wildflowers bent
Kiss me 'cause I'm grieving
We won't spеak of it again
[Verse 2]
The vultures circle thе parking lot
I know it's alright 'cause it's always wrong
I'm either hating you or banging my head on the wall
'Cause I love you when I wish I could not
We burned all of last years things
Prayed to become who we’d be
But my best friends kiss then hate each other every other week
If those old nails are finished
Why do I still hear the hammer swing?
[Chorus]
The kids have backyards
And their parent's cars
But we watch the world die every night
Then in the morning feel its breathing start
[Verse 3]
Wine and water in our mason jars
Haven't talked since early March
My craving veins won't heal my heart
God knows it's not my fault
When I don't wreck it all
Springtime showed like broken bones
Contrite through a stethoscope
The things you never want to see are always things that glow
[Chorus]
We've all heard, but we're all still asking to see
Oh, Elisha, who's your God and where is He
Have we all been blinking every time he splits the sea
'Cause I've spent this year just waiting for a sign I've seen for 23
