And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
Through myself and back again
Out of the lightning
Takes her clothes off, says she's close to understanding Jesus
Through the door, I hear her crying
She parks her car outside of my house and
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Round here we talk just like lions but we sacrifice like lambs
You catch me if I'm falling, you catch me if I'm falling
And in between the moon and you, angels get a better view
Round here we all look the same
Round here she's slipping though my hands
Maria says she's dying
Round here we always stand up straight
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says, "Man, you should try to take a shot
She says, "It's only in my head"
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Round here we're never sent to bed early and nobody makes us wait
Why? I don't know
Where? I don't know
Out of the lightning dream
Oh man, I said I'm under the gun round here
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
Then she looks up at the building
Mama's little baby better get herself in
Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Round here, hey man, got lots of time
And says she's thinking of jumping
Round here she's always on my mind
She must be tired of something
[Incomprehensible] sleeping children better run like the wind
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She says she's tired of life
I, I can't see nothing, nothing round here
Round here something radiates
Will you catch me? 'Cause I'm falling down on you
She says, "Shh, I know it's only in my head"
Well, I walk in the air between the rain
I said I'm under the gun round here
