The wind is howling in the evergreen
A candle flame just flickers by
These blurred lines and awkward conversations
Are maybe the best things that i found
You always find your seat at the table
You beg and plead and steal but never keep
You whittle me down to only skin and bone
You lay me on the grass and watch me bleed
Baby boy that's just the way it is
Driving fast through all these country lanes
Guitar in my hand what can I say
I wanna write in history books for us
But you always find your seat at the table
You beg and plead and steal but never keep
You whittle me down to only skin and bone
You lay me on the grass and watch me bleed
I just wanted you to know
This tightness in my chest will fade
And it'll be your fault
I'm the one you lost
And now your just the one that got away
Cause you pushed your way back to the table
You beg and plead and steal but never keep
Burning up those goddamn pages that we wrote
I leave them in the evergreen
