"Savannah" lyrics

There is an intersection in your college town
With your name on it, with your name on it
You always said you couldn't wait to tear it down
I shoulda been honest and called you out on it

'Cause I see signs from God and I tread lightly on the wire
You see him in the water and you try to start a fire
Burned bridges east of Atlanta, well, no wonder you lost manna
I'm in love with someone new and I'm going to Savannah, oh

There is a bar you're not allowed in on Bellevue
A bloody-faced comet, you were a time bomb and
You swore you'd raise our kids to end up just like you
Well, you're a false prophet and that's a goddamn promise

'Cause I see signs from God and I tread lightly on the wire
You see him in the water and you try to start a fire
Burned bridges east of Atlanta, well, no wonder you lost manna
I'm in love with someone new and I'm going to Savannah, ah

I hear it's haunted
That the greatest writers ever lived just where you used to walk
At twenty-one
You used to call those women bitches, didn't you?
It rolled off sweet like honeydew
But you will never know how to talk to ghosts

I see signs from God, I tread lightly on the wire
You see him in the water and you try to start a fire
Burned bridges east of Atlanta, you lost me so you lost manna
I'm in love with someone new and I'm going to Savannah

Going to Savannah
Going to Savannah
Going to Savannah, oh
