Grab my knee and

look at me and try to tell me

I'll be home soon

Asleep in my bed and unstoned

I'm tired of me this way



I don't know what I've gotten into

But I'm glad that it's now instead of sooner

This desert heat has crowded me strong

With a wish that I had for winter



It's not as gentle as it sounds

As though is sounded yesterday

When I heard a leaf of my life hit the ground

As a bottle cap flew from my fingers



I don't know what I've gotten into

But I'm glad that it's now instead of sooner

This desert heat has crowded me strong

With a wish that I had for winter



...and the sand blew in my eyes



As I stood on the edge and looked down to see

The light of a new life shining up on me



I don't know what I've gotten into

But I'm glad that it's now instead of sooner

This desert heat has crowded me strong

With a wish that I had for winter



...and the sand blew in my eyes
