lyrics

Better to be gone than to be far
Under your skin instead of a scar
Letter that I never should have wrote
Found you in a town without post

Summer that I should have run away
You showed me on maps where we were staying
At night on gravel roads the warmest winds
Lifted your hair into a dance

It settled in like stones dear
I never wanted anyone but you
Manzanita fires burned
Lines through the forest where I first met you

Fell asleep in dead grass by the road
Clouds shaped like lungs kept me cold
Inside you're in love with someone old
I should have known from long ago

It settled in like stones dear
I never could have anyone like you
Manzanita fires burned
Lines through the forest where I first met you

Better to be gone than to be far
In back of your mind instead of your car
On a dark and getting darker road
That bends through a forest we don't know

It settled in like stones dear
I never could have anyone like you
Manzanita fires burned
Lines through the forest where I first met you
Lines through the forest where I first met you
