Arlandria

Ain't that the way it always starts

A simple round of conversation

Became a shameful equation

I flipped you station to station

Hey, don't go and turn the other way

Don't say there's nothin' more to say

Come on, hear me out, hush, hush, settle down

Button up, don't make a sound, shame, shame, go away

Come again some other day






You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up






You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?

Oh, God, you gotta make it stop






Chase all of those memories away

Save them all for another day

Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you

Wait, I want to see if you can shake

I want to keep all I can take

I feel much better now, use me up, spit me out

Let me be your hand-me-down, fame, fame, go away

Come again some other day






You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up






You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?

Oh, God, you gotta make it stop






My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your arms

My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your heart






Shame, shame go away, some again some other day

Memories keep hauntin' me, help me chase them all away

Hush, now settle down, button up, don't make a sound

Close your eyes, turn around, help me burn this to the ground

Come now, take the blame, that's okay, I'll play the game

I don't care, it's all the same, watch it all go up in flames

Use me up, spit me out, let me be your hand-me-down

Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day






You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up






You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?

Oh, God, you gotta make it stop






My sweet Virginia, oh, God, you gotta make it stop

My sweet Virginia, oh, God, you gotta make it stop
