The sunlight, it lit up the place
It stole my golden night away
Whoa, whoa
You were right,
You said it right to my face
It wasn't the time
It wasn't the place to say
Anything
Jerking knees and electricity
I can feel your heartbeat through dirty sheets
We've dirtied up with our dirty feet
From walking barefoot on the street
Take me out to the Southern state
Dry my cheeks off please
And speak softly to me
Whoa
Weeks later,
I said I'm still feeling bruised
I'd wager you feel the same way I do
I do
It's true, it's true
I know the simple wound
When my hands were untied, it was because of you
When it's heeled then I'll be
When it's healed then I'll be too
Jerking knees and electricity
I can feel your heartbeat through dirty sheets
We've dirtied up with dirty feet
From walking barefoot on the street
Take me out to the Southern state
Dry my cheeks off please
And speak softly to me, oh
