Joshua Madore: Songs

Utah

Utah

I only say stupid things to you
I’m so far gone I don’t understand the truth
Or you

Middle America is over your shoulder
You’ve always been a good good corporate soldier
But now you’re taking fire from all sides
the fallout is always on time

I didn’t come here for the mountains
I didn’t come here for the view
I didn’t come here for the education
I came for you

Your self-help books ain’t worth reading
Your family picture is bleeding
She still wears my favorite shirt
She says it covers up the hurt

I didn’t come here for the mountains
I didn’t come here for the view
I didn’t come here for the education
I came for you

The stitches are still fresh
I’m a morning after mess
She’s that Sunday morning holiday feeling
Her kiss is always worth stealing

I didn’t come here for the mountains
I didn’t come here for the view
I didn’t come here for the education
I came for you
