lyrics born - chest wide open (acoustic) lyrics

we were head over heels, i was doing cartwheels
no meds, no pills, just the way my heart feels
wild and fine from new orleans
tattoo on her thigh of the fleur+de+lis
in a little silk dress that she bought secondhand
she’d do a little dance, i could see her silhouette
good god, how i used to knock that out
rattle the walls in that shotgun house
good lord, how we used to party hard
half+dead flying home from mardi gras
the sh+t we did, we should have been arrested
sh+t, i fell for, well, i should have guessed it
should have known then that no one can tame that
fire on the bayou, no way to contain that
would′ve exchanged vows, church with stained glass
now i’m passed out, laid across the train tracks

i walked for miles, oh with my head in my hands
she ripped my chest wide open
once was a child, oh now i′m now surely a man
she ripped my chest wide open
she ripped my chest wide open
she ripped my chest wide open (yeah)
we were naked in the dark drinkin’ makers mark
out of mismatched mugs and mason jars
she was actin’ strange, then i had this dream
we were at a cotillion, a masquerade
she disappeared behind an elaborate stage
followed by 5 gentlemen, i gasped awake
the bed was empty, i sat up straight
were we together last night or did i m+st+rbate?
and now baby’s gone
air sweet like she just put her fragrance on
at first i ain’t trip cause we partied crazy
time went by, though it happened daily
circling the crib would be random riff+raff
phone numbers written on the back of zig zags
i asked her about it, she dismissed it slyly
then we’d have s+x and it’d be forgotten

where did we go wrong?
where did we go wrong?
can i make it right?
can i make it right?

one hot ass night we were feeling restless
hit the dive bar for some reckless mischief
baby always knew how to make an entrance
dudes winkin’ at her like they knew her business
i pitched a fit, she threw a tantrum
she stormed off yellin’ headed for the restroom
i pounded a sidecar, popped a centrum
she was takin’ her time so i hit the men’s room
familiar screams from the next latrine
why did i look?
i already knew what i’d see
straddled some dude with her boots in the air
she smiled back at me, threw a deuce in the air
advance a few frames, here i am at the cribbo
scanning the place then i glanced out the window
hand full of drapes other hand full of zippos
laughing in sp+ce, come dance with me kiddo

she ripped my chest wide open
she ripped my chest wide open
she ripped my chest wide open
she ripped my chest wide open
