lyrics

words don't come the way they should
and when they do they aint no damn good
say what you want, but you can't take it back
I'm afraid i just made a suicide pact

some will come and some will go
some you were never even meant to know
raise your glass and raise it high
this is our long goodbye

come have a seat at the table with me
we always make such good company
forget the past it could never last
savor your time, cuz the future aint cheap

up in the morning and i'll dig in the dirt
home in the evening and i'll change my shirt
what is left of this reckoning
i'll wear it like a wedding ring.

oh, Magdalena
come and take my hand
cuz i don't know the way back home,
where I'm bound to be a better man.

i'll bet you half my wooden leg
that i'll walk thru fire for you one day
the earth may brush away all that we've ever known
but nothing can kill all these weeds we've grown

lately all my big, big plans
have fallen into all the wrong hands
i get lost in the crowd, I'm a little bit dumb
but i aint too proud to need someone.

oh, Magdalena
open up my eyes
cuz I've been sitting here such a long, long time
and I've forgot all the reasons why

oh, Magdalena
give me one more kiss
i realize that we've only just met
but i don't want it to end like this

hey, Magdalena
come and take my hand
cuz i don't know the way back home
where i'm bound to be a better man
