Midwestern Dirt Lyrics by Dear And The Headlights

Small Steps, Heavy Hooves

2007

I want to bury your face in the
Midwestern dirt to dull the shape
And cut that hand that changed my name
Polishing
And my next words could be my last of
My clumsy mouth and the egg shells cracked
And oh no, oh no, oh no no, oh no, oh no no
I'm sinking in deeper, Midwestern dirt [x2]
Did you ever want to start?
Or just watch my love
I'm some impulse buy
You couldn't take your eyes off of
Some clean white slate for you to fill in the blanks
Then show me off, you show me off
And my next words could be my last of
My clumsy mouth and the egg shells cracked
And oh no, oh no, oh no no, oh no, oh no no
I'm sinking in deeper, Midwestern dirt [x8]
And you'll stay above me forever
Like you stay above me for now
And you'll stay above me forever
Like you stay above me now
And you'll stay above me forever
Like you stay above me now
And you'll stay above me forever
Like you stay above me now
And you'll stay above me here, forever
Just like you stay above me right now
