One Mississippi

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, countin' down the seconds

Standin' in the wreckage of love on a cold, gray 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 your coffee cup, I know I should wash it up

But maybe I'll just wait here for a little while

Run my fingers 'round the top where you lips were

I just stop 'cause I, I can almost see your smile



And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi, countin' down the seconds

Standin' in the wreckage of love on a cold, gray 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

Now I'm waiting for the rain and the pain to come, yeah
