Lyrics

We're going to do a song off our acoustic e.p. (jessie! jessie!) the song's called 'jessie and my whetstone'

To me the only thing left after a while
Was that night we watched documentaries up through morning
You kicked me out
Open up your screen door and threw me off of the porch
It was summer then and I drove home whistlin' down the pike, yeah

And that was that, our one sweet night together
And under highway signs
I watched our love start fluttering, disapating
I counted all the head lights to make sure I was alright

Now wondering is it me, or is it me
Who can't see silver linings
Well I fucked it up
I watched you go
I saw my hand not dialing the phone
And all I've left to do
Is sit in the dull room
Where we sat in blue stream light
Watching the strike of '59
Dreamed of wrecking my underwear
Oh can I touch your cheek somewhere?
Under dirt filled rainy nights with my socks stuck in the mud
Yeah please come dive in puddles with me
Our one sweet night together
Our one sweet night together
Our one sweet night together
I watched our love start fluttering, disapating
And I counted all the headlights to make sure I was alright
