It was 100 degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree
whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air
and refused to fall, to fall.
I knew, I'd made a horrible call.
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
and there was no doubt about which side I was on.
Because I built you a home in my heart
with rotten wood that decayed from the start.
'Cuz you can't find nothing at all,
if there was nothing there all along.
No, you can't find nothing at all,
if there was nothing there all along.
I braved treacherous streets
and kids strung out on homemade speed.
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep
At all, woo hoo, woo hoo oo oo hoo...
At night, the sun in retreat
made the skyline look like crooked teeth
in the mouth of a man who was devouring us both.
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech
but they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.
'Cuz you can't find nothing at all,
if there was nothing there all along.
No, you can't find nothing at all,
if there was nothing there all along.
I'm a war of head versus heart
and it's always this way.
My head is weak, my heart always speaks
before I know what it will say.
'Cuz you can't find nothing at all,
if there was nothing there all along.
No, you can't find nothing at all,
if there was nothing there all along.
There were churches, theme parks and malls...
There was nothing there all along.
