It seems every stretch of way
Is full of things we lost or didn't say
And it seems we haul our grief
In trailers of bailing wire and cheap belief
And this old town still burns beneath the sun
Little roadside crosses for everyone
Some of us glow in the dark of night
Every single one of us glows in the light
The world is weighted with beauty and pain
More than anyone could explain
And this old town still burns beneath the sun
Little roadside crosses for everyone
This is how all things come undone
So meet me down by the river's edge
Beneath this bridge we'll give our pledge
Sign it in the good rich mud
Make a pact thick as blood to
Never, never, never fade away
Never, never, never fade away
This tragic sense of life makes me smile
Watch the water run for a little while
I'm still throwing rocks at your window from the street
Missing the melody to find the beat
This old town still burns beneath the sun
Little roadside crosses for everyone
This is how all things come undone
And this is how we become
Everyone
Everyone
Everyone
Everyone
