Snow in the Desert

Could I be wrong?
This feeling is way too strong, would you
String me along?
Am I someone you'll listen to
Can I be frank?
I'm utterly terrified by you
Not in that way
But like maybe I don't wanna know the truth

I'm gonna break my hands trying to hold onto believing
You're gonna break my heart in two if you tell me that you're leaving

'Cause I've seen it, snow in the desert
You, me, and the Indian reservation
Feel like they stripped us of our birthrights
Naked and in the cold
And I've seen
Peaceful rain on the troubled waters
Like the tear that falls on the other cheek
Are we weak like the falling of leaves?
I don't care where I land as long as you land next to me

Up from the grave
Of whiskey and cocaine, I realize
You meant what you said
You don't see what I see in your eyes
But is that okay?
Could I just give more than I ever take?
Would you run away?
Or have you already planned your escape?

I'm coming to terms with truth and I
Still don't understand it
You're telling me there's no reason why
Can you help me understand it?

'Cause I've seen it, snow in the desert
You, me, and the Indian reservation
Feel like they stripped us of our birthrights
Naked and in the cold
And I've seen
Peaceful rain on the troubled waters
Like the tear that falls on the other cheek
Are we weak like the falling of leaves?
I don't care where I land as long as you land next to me

I'll dodge the bullets
And you get to pullin' on the trigger
It's all in the puddin'
Well maybe it doesn't even matter
Maybe we shouldn't
Or maybe the order is much bigger
Than we ever wrote it
But it feels so good
Baby, I'm afraid

'Cause I've seen it, snow in the desert
You, me, and the Indian reservation
Feel like they stripped us of our birthrights
Naked and in the cold
And I've seen peaceful rain on the troubled waters
Like the tear that falls on the other cheek
Are we weak like the falling of leaves?
I don't care where I land as long as you land next to me
