I wanna take you someplace safer
Pull your pain out with my teeth
I wanna take away the ulcers burning holes into your cheeks
And I wanna bring you back to water, turn your branches evergreen
I wanna take you someplace safer
I wanna leave
I wanted to see how the light collects in the high desert heat
And you point to where the South Sister should be behind the clouds
I'm haunted by the ghosts of right now
The entire coast is out of water
It's turning different shades of grey
Like watching somebody you love
As they slowly waste away
And you looked skinny at my wedding
Sick of carrying the weight
Of all the doctors and all the treatments and all the reasons to be afraid
I wanted to see how the light collects in the high desert heat
And you point to where the South Sister should be behind the clouds
I'm haunted by the ghosts of right now
The ghosts of right now
I wanna take you someplace safer
I wanna take you someplace safer
I wanted to see how the light collects in the high desert heat
And you point to where the South Sister should be behind the clouds
I'm haunted by the ghosts of right now
