St. Vincent This Wave

AlphabetLyrics.com

He's gonna burn up deep in texas
I'll freeze alone in new york city
We made the best of a disaster
And I pull my jacket closer.

I lit a candle for you in rome
I did the same in mexico
Oh, won't you tap me on the shoulder
When the scary scene is over.

I feel as guilty as jiminy
And like a piggy-headed yankee
But I did not see this wave coming
In time to wake you up
In time, in time to warn you of
In time, in time to pull you from it.
