Wilderness Call

Well, the first of September

Brought in the best that I'd had

It wasn’t me that you wanted

You were fixed on a thought and so sad

But tears don't dry up in the rain

They fall from your cheeks

And they run down your frame

Well, the first of September

Showed me how cruel I could be

I spent that whole week

Getting mad at the man you believed

And you didn't tell me that smile

Was loaded with worries

And bent with denial

And we sang

Let’s use one another

But I can't remember that night

I just draw a blank when I try and I do

I love picking flowers and dancing with moons

But I hate what I did to you

But you can't say it meant nothing at all

'Cause I saw the lights when all the lights were turned low

Made a wilderness call

But it's not your fault

It's not your fault

I'm good to my mother

She'll tell you I know how to be

I used to be young

And I sang about shit I believed

And I try my best not to lie

I help when I can

And I know wrong from right

I’m good to my mother

My friends can attest to my light

But I took advantage

And promised you things that I fight

I’m not who I was at the time

I hate what I've done

I don’t sleep well at night

And we sang

Let's use one another

But I can't remember that night

I just draw a blank when I try and I do

I love picking flowers and dancing with moons

But I hate what I did to you

But you can't say it meant nothing at all

’Cause I saw the lights when all the lights were turned low

Made a wilderness call

But it's not your fault

It's not your fault

Oh, 'cause we sang, let's use one another

We sang and tried to believe everything

'Cause you knew that I wanted to hear

And I knew what you wanted to hear

And you knew what I wanted to hear

And I knew what you wanted to hear

So now I get wasted and yell at the Moon

'Cause I hate what I did to you
