Exile On New Street Lyrics - Fairfax, Ak

She bought a pack smokes just to prove that she could 

That fake ID got more use then it should 

In my brother's car she sat on the passenger side 

16 on borrowed time she hung her feet out the window 

She took her sweater off and I saw the bruises on her arms 

Then she asked me, "Do you think if Jesus came back anyone would even notice?" 

I never heard a girl talk quite like her before 

She looked away and played with the lock on the door 

She held back tears and I parked behind the library with the neon sign 

We talked about Alaska 

She calmed down when we got high 

She said the day you really die 

Is the day when no living soul can even remember your name 

I'd be lying if I didn't think she made be nervous 

But I fell in love with her stories and the false hope in her lies 

She always said she would head out west to calm down 

Two weeks later she had hitch-hiked her way out of town
