I closed my eyes when I was driving
Hoping headlights would take me
All of the bad things consumed me
I didn't know what I was doing
I just thought that she liked me
I just wanted the cursing
To end when I was f*cking yearning
Dilapidated and woeful
I sat and waited feeling hopeful
She had a prozac heart
She hadn't been touched before
By the works of art
On the museum walls and doors
And I had a passion for painting
So I hoped she'd liked all the things I'd been making
It wasn't long before
I heard knocks on the outside of my bedroom door
Asking if I wanted some coffee
We went out and I swear we couldn't stop talking
And now I sit silently
Staring at the drying paint
Portraits of her face
Will haunt me in the everglades
Made up of tears and wild flowers
Given to me that have sat for hours
On the dashboard of my car
Now they're wilting up
And dying inside my heart
Because every second without her
Feels like I'm drowning
In ocean water
Oh somebody help me
Oh somebody help me
Oh Eliza
You've gone away and I'm dying
So I guess there's no sense in hiding
That I love you
Oh I love you
I love you
Oh Eliza
You've gone away and I'm dying
So I guess there's no sense in hiding
That I love you
Oh I love you
I love you
And now I sit silently
Staring at the drying paint
Portraits of her face
Will haunt me in the everglades
Made up of tears and wild flowers
Given to me that have sat for hours
On the dashboard of my car
Now they're wilting up
And dying inside my heart
Because every second without her
Feels like I'm drowning
In ocean water
Oh somebody help me
Oh somebody help me
