[Verse 1]
A B
I bought flowers from a drifter.

Cut my hand on a thorn,

Straight across the fate line.

I'm no palm reader,

Rainy night in California.

Told me he fought in the war.

And I'm so desperate to do the right thing.
F G F
I'm not sure what that even is anymore.

He found a bus stop to weather the storm.

Mom, I want you to know

I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home.

Faded light from the projector

Spitting summer out on a screen.

We filled it up with furniture and concrete.

Now all the people I was taught would be heroes

Are acting like cowards, killers, and thieves.

Coming undone at the seams.

Stress fractures and muted dreams.
