lyrics

Hey there Jessie I heard you’re moving out, now to the East. Packed up your things and go. You up and left your home. You made a harlequin of everything I know. Hey there Jessie, I think I’m moving out, now to the sea. I was a young boy once. Covered in winter frost, taking only what I need. I’m not the one calling whiskey drunk screaming. You said it all, calling screaming on the phone. Now where’d you go? Hey there Jessie I can hear them yelling your name from the street. All the mistletoe, all that letting go, you couldn’t kiss away everything you’re not. I know you felt it. I could hear them calling your name from that block. Everything you’re not, everything you bought, and everything you almost ever got. I’m not the one calling whiskey drunk screaming. You said it all, calling screaming on the phone. Now where’d you go? Jessie, them scraps on your knees? You tumble like a weed and it goes on until they see. Jessie, those bows in your hair? All the boys are going to stare and it goes on until they see. I’m not the one calling whiskey drunk screaming. You said it all, calling screaming on the phone. Now where’d you go?
