I have a life somewhere real far away
You wouldn't make a lick of sense in that place
Please call me baby, if just for a day
When I come see you when I'm running away

I loved your energy and the dim light
On the side of the highway in the middle of the night
Forget what they said to me, it doesn't connect
To the angel in bed with me, his face 'tween my legs

I read you Raymond Carver by the pool bar like a lady
Known you for a while, but you'd been someone else's baby
When the rain picked up, we took a drive, I had a rental
Torn up over timing, but time ain't accidental

Leaving tomorrow, I don't have to, I just should
Once in a while it's nice to be good
Odessa in an hour, Coahoma by mid-day
But I'm soaked in your power, wanna turn around and stay

Meet me in Mexico, no one knows us there
Pretend it's our honeymoon, put flowers in our hair
The way that I'm loving you is like it's gonna last
Picked you like a petal from a wild-rose past

I read you Raymond Carver by the pool bar like a lady
Known you for a while, but you'd been someone else's baby
Look me in the eyes, I know it's experimental
Torn up over timing, but time ain't accidental

We don't belong to anyone and both need time alone
Won't promise tomorrow, for now all I know

Is I'll read you Raymond Carver by the pool bar, I'm a lady
Known you for a while and I like calling you baby
Look me in the eyes, it's all experimental
Torn up over timing, but time ain't accidental
