Madeline Lyrics by Jamie McDell

Beach House EP

2023

[Verse 1]
I don't think she had a plan
Just wanted to be broken from that broken man
So every ounce of she left in July
Slow toke for a fast goodbye
I don't think he cared too much
Little private school boy, never gave a fuck
All he ever needed was a rug
Some warm thing to feel like love
[Chorus]
Well, she's got leather on her shoulders now
She's been playing in a bar downtown
Don't you waste it on a lazy crowd
Madeline
[Verse 2]
I don't think she liked the noise
Liquor-covered pavеments and that smokey voice
Wondеring if she'll play a song he knows
Big chin and a hook too slow
On a bus to St. Louis
Trading books with strangers in their seventies
Hoping she might honour their mistakes
Might cherish her own someday
[Chorus]
Well, she's got tattoos on her shoulders now
She's been sleeping on the old man's couch
Don't you trade it for a big white house
Madeline
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I don't think she had a plan
Little girls and anger always dance that dance
Even with no growing pains at all
Those shoes can still feel small
[Chorus]
Well, she's got Alice 'round her shoulders now
And they've been saving for the first flight out
Don't you waste it on a one-way town, Madeline
[Outro]
Madeline
