Lost my friends, I lost my money, hurt the one that I call honey
I’m just sitting here in Tennessee, ain’t it kinda funny
Yea, I had so much to say, I just tossed it all away
Wasting coins up at the laundromat, I cycle through my days, yea

Now putting on my outfit, but some stains they won’t come out
It’s all a lesson that I learned about trusting people who aren’t grounded
Are you interested in me, maybe someone who agrees
Now I’m trying to check myself but sometimes it’s so hard to see
Feeling friction in my nature, wide eyes watching your behavior
I argue with my home town as I learn about new neighbors
So I tilt my head and wait, as you love the things I hate
But I’m patient and I’m willing so my temper acclimates, yea

I could learn to love you
My grandma says I ought to
I could learn to love you if I tried another way
Yea, I could learn to love you
God knows I don’t want to
But I could learn to love you
Make it easy down the way, yea

Been cleaning up my rhetoric, it’s partisan and settled in
The way I wanna see things, but I know I can do better
Than the statues in the park, circle thinking peeling bark
No, I cannot leave my roots, but there are some awfully dirty marks
So I tattooed on the suture, piece it back up for the future
Done with hiding, done with dodging every way that I maneuver
Got these days when I just panic, feel I’m slipping off the planet
So caught up in myself like every flame I gotta fan it
Till I’m burning down the road and not so sure of where I’m going
Though I’m keeping to myself, I swear my love is overflowing
I’m ready to begin, I wanna know you, where you been
Put a lilac on my skin and let it bloom what’s held within, yea

I could learn to love you
Though I wasn’t taught to
I could learn to love you as we go against the grain
Yea, I could learn to love you
Forget what I thought through
I could learn to love you
Make it easy down the way, yea

Two shots in the chest at a hotel on the east side
Tana’s crying over someone that she barely knew
But she was sweet, she was kind
She was someone’s peace of mind
I lit a candle by the dumpster on my break
Felt the gravity of another being

Now I just wanna love you
Be there where I ought to
I just wanna love you better every day
I just wanna love you
All your darker hues too
I just wanna love you
Take it easy all the way, yea
