One Mississippi

One Mississippi, two Mississippi

Counting down the seconds

Standing in the wreckage of love

On a cold grey Jackson dawn

Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this

I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading

I see your already gone

Half of who I used to be, one Mississippi

Lipstick on the coffee cup

I know I should wash it up

But maybe I'll just wait here for a little while

I run my fingers around the top

Where your lips were I just stop

Cause I, I can almost see your smile

And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi

Counting down the seconds

Standing in the wreckage of love

On a cold grey Jackson dawn

And I know everybody's got their demons

Everybody's got their reasons

Why they leave when they run

Oh but baby I could have helped you through it

You built a wall and I couldn't get to it

Now I'm waiting for the rain, and the pain to come

And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi

Counting down the seconds

Standing in the wreckage of love

On a cold grey Jackson dawn

Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this

I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading

I see your already gone

Half of who I used to be, one Mississippi

Oh one Mississippi yeah yeah yeah oh oh oh
