little white lie
little girl popping adderall
she’s such a loud hot mess
got me feeling sentimental now
the open road with her will clear your head
remind you who you’re gonna be
but her home is gonna chain you down
it’s never gonna set you free
lean in close enough to feel your breath
slowing on my skin
the way this place feels changes
every single time you walk back in
so don’t stop now
tear me down and make me play the part
grab your coat and pay your tab
we’ve still got a few hours in the dark
(chorus)
but I can see something wrong keep’s happening
and I don’t know what it is, I just wanna go home tonight
to see all my family
I need my brothers nearby they’re just about all that will get me right
get me right
such a ground shaking girl
with such a tiny little silhouette
don’t think you’ll make it out alive
she’ll make you hedge your bets
pack your bags, before you know
she’s hustled you right down the road
she’s gonna build you up fast
but she tears you down oh so slow
CHORUS
I woke up yesterday and read the news
this stuff just makes me fall apart
I can’t imagine what it’s done to you
thank god you’ve got such a true heart
I know the end is such a long ways out
what’s in your way is now a wall
but Josh believe in me you’re gonna see
you’re still standing oh so tall
