Even the best intentions die
Dishonorable deaths
So what are we to do?
Even the closest attention dies
With a dust-stirring breath
So what are we to do?

You shine like a cigarette
Hanging from the mouth of some guy
I want to knock him down
Virginia met Ohio over the phone line yesterday
They had a lot to say
And you know I'm just like you
Incapable of playing
My own songs all the way through

I've never given up on you
Withholding the truth for you
Changed my whole life for you
