Savannah

Before we ever had any hard decisions

Before we ever had any rule of law

Savannah would laugh at me in her room at her parents’ house

And time how fast it’d take to take off her bra

And she was named after, she was named after her dad’s favourite city

I was named after, I was named after the fact, oh yeah

Savannah, tell me what you had in mind

Savannah, this wait is only multiplying

Before we ever had any hard decisions

Before she pulled me from my seat at the bar

Savannah would ramble on about ancient traditions

She said “I don’t need no minister to give you my heart”

But her sisters kept saying these games that he’s playing, you’ll always be waiting

She called me a gentleman

And she’s once, twice, three times a lady

Savannah, tell me what you had in mind

Savannah, this wait is only multiplying

Baby you can’t lift us, at least you’re trying

I’ll keep running and you’ll keep fighting

Savannah, tell me what you had in mind

My phone rings and I see you’re calling

It’s a picture of you on a day you were smiling

You always think that it’s time that I’m buying

Think I am, just a minute I’m decidingSo I leave the bar and it’s freezing cold

You say “You always go out and I’m always alone

And this song and dance, it gets pretty old

The love of my life talk is what I’ve been sold”

I know I let you down a million times, I let you down a million times

But don’t it feel like we’re just scraping by, feels like we’re just scraping by

I know I let you down a million times, I know I let you down a million times

But don’t it feel like we’re just scraping by, feels like we’re just scraping by

Savannah, tell me what you had in mind

Savannah, this wait is only multiplying

Savannah

Savannah

Ohhhhhhhhh
