I'm sorry, Oregon

I'll engrave myself in the world for her, so I'm with her all the time.

Don't be surprised

If I just up and left

If you wish to

Let's board the train illegally

 

It'll take us to Seattle

And in the journey

we chat how I saved you

From unpleasant men

 

We'll stop to California, Santa Monica

Peace in the silent pier, just us

under the mysterious stars

we melt in each other, and descend

 

I'll flirt with men as you watch

then I'll kiss you in front of them

It's a middle finger to whom

that outcasted we brilliant lovers

 

Because it's fun, and 'cause

I love you, the only one

You with me wherever I go

I'll be your first mate, you're my captain

 

We plunder booty, 'cause you like it

Dramatic, Damaged girls coupled

Still I'm glad You're who I sleep with

at night even if on the bed of a truck

 

At work break we settle in the truck

I pull down your beanie, cover your face

close your eyes, you need sleep

I set a perfect timer, I guard your calm

 

And when you wake up,

We're in New York,

The fireworks explode atop

The cheap beer in our system

 

We've sobered up, climbing the Everest

I revealed it was my dream

In the cold we huddle up frozen

to one another, we love each other.

 

I'm sorry Oregon, I have to leave

I desire you with me, we kiss on the roads

But if you don't want to, I won't stay

But I'll engrave the world with me

 

So when you escape Oregon I'll be

New York, Seattle, Everest,

Santa Monica Beach,

the pretty girl on the train

 

I'll be the girl you kiss in front of men

Or the girl that rests you in your truck

You'll see a me in everywhere you are

If you escape Oregon, you'll still be with me.
