One Mississippi, two Mississippi
Counting down the seconds
Standing in the wreckage of love
On a cold grey Jackson dawn
Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this
I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading
I see you're already gone
I'm half of who I used to be, one Mississippi
Lipstick on the coffee cup
I know I should wash it up
But maybe I'll just wait here for a little while
I run my fingers 'round the top
Where your lips were I just stop
'Cause I, I can almost see your smile
And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi
Counting down the seconds
Standing in the wreckage of love
On a cold grey Jackson dawn
And I know everybody's got their demons
Everybody's got their reasons
Why they leave when they run
But baby, I could have helped you through it
You built a wall and I couldn't get to it
And now I'm waiting for the rain
And the pain to come, yeah
And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi
Counting down the seconds
Standing in the wreckage of love
On a cold grey Jackson dawn
Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this
I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading
I see you're already gone
I'm half of who I used to be, one Mississippi
Ooh one Mississippi, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
