"Jessie & My Whetstone" lyrics

To me, the only thing left after a while
Was that night we watched
Documentaries up through morning
Then you kicked me out
You opened up the screen door
And threw me out on your porch
It was summer then
And I drove home whistling
Down the pike, yeah

And that was that
Our one sweet night together
And under highway signs

I watched our love start fluttering
Dissipating
I counted all the headlights
To make sure I was alright

Now I'm wondering
Is it me or is it me
That can't see silver linings
So I fucked it up
I watched you go
I saw my hand not dialing the phone
And all I'm left to do
Is remember the dull room

We stared at blue screen light
Watching the strike of '59
Dreamed of wrecking my underwear
Oh, can I touch your cheek somewhere
Under dark-filled rainy nights
With my socks stuck in the mud, yeah
Please come dive in puddles with me

Our one sweet night together
Our one sweet night together
Our one sweet night together
And under highway signs

I watched our love start fluttering
Dissipating
I counted all the headlights
To make sure I was alright
