Lyrics

Take everything that we've had
Take it and burn it to the ground
Some things were never meant to last
Take it down, down, down, take it down
Take it down, down, down, take it down

I'm still married to it all
That ain't no place to hang around
My love is 50 feet tall
Take it down, down, down, take it down
Take it down, down, down, take it down

And I've grown accustomed to the way
You hurled us into space
I'll never make that trip
Tears all rusted on my face
I'm just an empty place
Where your love used to fit

South carolina, where are you?
We were once lost, now are found
War is over, the battle is through
Take it down, down, down, take it down
Take it down, down, down, take it down
Take it down, down, down, take it down
Take it down, down, down, take it down
