Cinnamon Chapstick

I've got some blankets in my truck
We'll drive forever, I'll pick you up
See the suns on fire

The serotonin I'm feeling
Emotion or the real thing
We'll take it as the Word of God

In the tone of your voice
And the flick of your thumb
You speak in riddles and sing in tongues
like how and when, and now and then
Why don't questions answer everything

You got the coat I bought from last spring
I think you look good, it never fit me
Who we are and who we could've been
I think is setting in

Now that we're growin' older
Do you still think God tried his best
Well maybe He's forgotten
Maybe we never really asked

But there's something in the way you float
A scrapbook and a Pauline quote
Remind me the friends we made living back home
When we were young
We were scared
See a ghost
Is someone there
Lets burn a candle and watch it stand still

Sell me on a quick fix
Cinnamon Chapstick
Give me something stronger than the summer rain

Stuck in a two lane
Coffee and nicotine
Door to door baby, we're going broke again, again

Don't need a foolproof
Love-in-the-afternoon
In the evening choking on adrenaline

Don't want to cherry pick
Not another cheap trick
I need this to burn me like a cigarette

Sell me a quick fix
Cinnamon Chapstick
I need something stronger than the summer rain

Someone to explain this suffering
