It was one hundred degrees
As we sat beneath a willow tree,
Whose tears didn't care,
They just hung in the air
And refused to fall, to fall…
And I knew I'd made horrible call
And now the state line
Felt like the Berlin Wall,
And there was no doubt about
Which side I was on…
Cause I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood,
And it decayed from the start,
Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along,
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along.
I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out
On homemade speed,
And we shared a bed
In which I could not sleep
At all, woohoo woohoooo…
Cause at night
The sun in the tree
Made the skyline look
Like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man
Who was devouring us both…
You're so cute
When you're slurring your speech,
But they're closing the bar
And they want us to leave,
And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along,
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along.
I'm a war of head versus heart,
And it's always this way:
My head is weak,
My heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say…
Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along,
No, you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along,
There were churches,
Theme parks and malls,
There was nothing there all along.
