Skinny Atlas - Lonely Mexico lyrics

[Intro: Aidan Cooper] I saw lonely faces Going to lonelier places I saw people just walking to their d**h And if you came looking for God Then you're sh** out of luck But the Devil's just sitting over there And he's got a lifetime of pain Hell you are one in the same So go on and march with him tonight And he'll say “Stay here, soul” You'll stay there awhile He'll say “Stay here, soul” You'll stay there awhile Alone in Mexico Alone in Mexico [Verse 1: Dylan Owen] The lonelier the highway, the prettier the view But the sooner I will paint my ocean blue Yeah it's funny how we all are constantly in limbo Win or lose ‘cause if you fall You're bound to learn a thing or two I've always been a traveler A backpack and dusty mirror kind of kid Shoulder centric hoping heaven takes him type of sh** Broken necked and motel checked-in no perspective type of wishing Holds his lessons close as measuring this distance Don't regret it I put on for my small town-city Saying God's gonna forgive you if you fall down with me Sort it out I wish I didn't miss your calls now literally Fault found All out Falling take these Walls down with me Both of us are different now Heavier than calmer stages We could dig our graves together Bury this in conversation Waste away our days together Weather this on rocks of patience Overcome geography in case I get to See you again [Hook: Dylan Owen & Aidan Cooper] Alone, alone, in Mexico If I don't see you again Alone, alone, in Mexico If I don't see you again If I don't see you again [Verse 2: Dylan Owen] If I don't see you again I'll pack my bags Write a letter to my friends Pretend I never wrote an album bout you, this is how it ends So yeah the lonelier the highway, the prettier the view And the sooner I won't be alone with you We used to swing dance in kitchens And kiss at red lights But now there's no sense in writing Down the things we used to do I swear to God I wanna erase what you've been through make a point using my pencil put my sneaker through your window If we cannot see this through But if I see your pretty face again, I'll lay you down in rose I'll remove your newest tattoos and I'll take off all your clothes I am sixty-five, squinting out of wrinkled eyes, I hope I don't identify the best of times as dead inside my soul I've always been a traveler, a dusty sneaker kind kid A battlefield lover and a tourist to your lips But when something magic we love dies or fuses into mist You'll be the cutest number on my bucket list I hope I see you again I hope I see you again If I don't see you again I better see you again Until I see you again [Outro: Aidan Cooper] The lonelier the highway, the prettier the view And the sooner it takes me home to you And so people will say that you're not even my own ‘Cause I sat there and burned down your home I've had a lifetime of pain Hell we are one in the same So I go and march with you tonight And I said “Stay here, soul” You'll stay there a while I say “Stay here, soul” You'll stay there a while Alone in Mexico Alone in Mexico
