"Defiance, Ohio" lyrics

"Defiance, Ohio"

Here's what happens
You'll get lucky all the time
Get it till it isn't enough
You'll say sorry
Like you're never gonna leave
Never gonna leave much

It don't matter
If you only ever fall
Deeper into your own hands
How much heaven
Can anybody hold
Anybody hold out?

If you're walking across the ocean
Turning water into wine
If you're reeling, feeling broken
All these pieces will come alive

Till you roll off of the road
In Defiance, Ohio
Where even the old folks on the news
Say don't get old

It don't matter
You can waste another life
Looking where you lost a star
Here's what happens
You'll wave straight into the dark
Rhyming like the morning and the moon

If you're walking across the ocean
Turning water into wine
If you're reeling, feeling broken
All these pieces will come alive
Alive

Till you roll off of the road
In Defiance, Ohio
Where even the old folks on the news
Say don't get old
They say don't get old
They say don't get old
