Age Of Delilah
Ethel Cain Song Lyrics

There comes a day you sneak out but you don't go home

Where you're out past the streetlights, running down the road and your daddy won't know

It hurts to grow up, when your knees are still cut

But for us, life's never been without blood.

Getting life's cold goodbye wave from the dark of the driveway

Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, so I leave it to the lights

Can you just tell me which way I'm driving

Interstate or the highway, I'm going, I'm ready.

There comes a day you find out that you don't wanna die

They'll say it's time you finally grew up, you've been gone for quite a while, but they'll never ask you why

They ask how it felt to suffocate myself

But not everything feels like something else.

Getting life's cold goodbye wave from the dark of the driveway

Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, so I leave it to the lights

Can you just tell me which way I'm driving

Interstate or the highway, I'm going, I'm ready.

20 'til midnight at gas stations

Praying to a stranger's dogs in the parking lot

I asked have I done enough for salvation

They said you'll die if you leave it up to god

Said I've been drinking from this river 'til I bled it dry

But they looked me dead in my eyes and said

It doesn't matter if the grass is greener on the other side

As long as it's alive.

So give it one last goodbye wave, in the light of the highway

Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, but I've waited my whole life

So you just tell me which way I'm driving

Interstate or the highway, we're going, we're ready.
