Saint Francis are you with me?
I am knocking at your door
Something in me's screaming
I'm not sure what the hell for
I've got bruises in the morning from I can't remember when
Shannon's out in New Orleans
And I am gone again
Oh, the girl's in New Orleans
And I am gone again
I kept dreaming about winter in kedves Debrecen
I fly out tomorrow, gonna walk its streets by ten
'Cause after "give it a rest, you don't impress" sent shivers through my bones
Heni's there to numb the pain
So I don't feel so alone
I got friends east of central Spain
I know I'm not alone
But I won't last forever, so remind me to say amen
I'm barely north of breaking, begging for someone to spare my sins
There's a prayer I used to know by heart, but I was younger then
Oh, Maria—invite me in
Oh, Maria—invite me in
Don't think I have forgotten your voice so carefree
Singing "Bright Lights" through my phone slightly off key
You went from LA to Santa Fe and then to NYC
But you never did drive back through here or what you promised me
No, you never did follow through on what you promised me
No
And there's only so much heartache I can take on the chin
One day I'll just cash it in and get drunk off bathtub gin
Then row me out to the southern coast of my discontent
The water's freezing but I'm gonna jump on in
Don't try to stop me, honey, I'm gonna jump on in
I won't last forever, so remind me to say amen
I'm barely north of breaking, and no one's gonna spare my sins
There's a prayer I used to know by heart but I was younger then
Oh, Maria—invite me in
Oh, Maria
Invite me in
Oh Maria, invite me in
What I gain from sorrow keeps the art alive
Anna's spinning Counting Crows, I'm just trying not to cry
I got pills I take each evening but my head feels heavy then
These pills feel like a prison, built for mass consumption
It takes strength and all that I am not to crumble from within
I know I won't
Yeah I know that
I won't last forever, so I sure as shit better say amen
Staring down the gates of heaven, shouting "I'd rather live in sin"
That prayer I could recite by heart it only helped me way back when
Oh, Maria—invite me in
Oh, Maria—invite me in
Oh, Maria—invite me in
Oh, Maria
