You Were Right About One Thing

Even after the war you showed up Said you wanted new problems What's that? I've had all mine for such a long time You handled me well for the first time When I painted your cruel lover How come? Was it just to make me feel like a child? Wrote all my worst fears down when I conjured you So you wanna be like me, an artist Going 70 cross country How long does it take to learn it's all cursed? The shadows that told us to go west To be held by the radio towers Lit up like a California forest fire Your worst half still haunts me when I'm weak But you were right about one thing Couldn't have made it this far without you You were right about one thing She might have been a poet But she knows i'm the poet you chose That's why she had to read me all her sad lines Now that our story is over Got yourself a kind love and I hope this one Can keep your fire alive Hope she doesn't burn quite like I do Wrote all my worst fears when I conjured you But you were right about one thing Couldn't have made it this far without you You were right about one thing
