Native State Songtext
von Jess Williamson

I thought I saw something real in Barcelona, in Brooklyn
But I′ve learned the power now of manic delusions
I remember Leonard Cohen
And your tears and how you used to cry
And you'd thank me, you′d thank me
For not asking you why
My darling, my baby, we have a bond that will not break
It will not change, it will not fade
No matter how many times I am replaced
Stay with her, and stay away
Stay with her, and stay away
Did you wanna ask your little lady
Why she's crying and changing her sheets
Why she's lighting the sage as you′re biking away
Well I can promise you she′s gonna sleep all day


Feel the weight
Your native state
Feel the weight
Your native state
I remember all the chiller names you had for disrespect
Your cruelty and cavalier way with regret
Was proved by the news of how you
Moved inside my long-haired ladyfriend
My darling my baby
I hope you're more than just a pretty face
I wish you well, I wish you peace
I wish you real love someday
You′re beautiful and you'll always meet someone
But when you′re gone
You'll be tattooed under mountains on my arm
