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 you're already gone

I'm 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 'round 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

But baby, I could have helped you through it

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

And now I'm waiting for the rain

And the pain to come, yeah

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 you're already gone

I'm half of who I used to be, one Mississippi

Ooh one Mississippi, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
