Round Here (Rare Acoustic)

Go to sleep, little angel
Go to sleep, little one
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white
In between the moon and you, the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air, between the rain, through myself and back again, where,
I don't know.
Maria said she's dyin
Through the door, I hear her cryin
Why?
I don't know.
Round here, we always stand up straight.
Round here, something radiates.
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis.
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land,
Just like she's walkin on a wire in the circus.
She parks her car outside my house, n takes her clothes off.
Says she's close to understanding Jesus.
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood.
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous.
Round here, we're carving out our names.
Round here, we all look the same.
Round here, we talk just like lions
And we sacrifice like lambs.
Round here, she's slipping through my hands..
Hey, oh,
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sleepin children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
I said, momma's little baby better get herself in out of the lightning
And she says it's, it's only in my head.
She said ah, sshh shut up, cause I know
I know it's only in my head.
But the girl on the car in the parking lot says, man, you should try to take a shot
Can't you see my walls are crumblin?
And then she looks up at the buildin
And she said she's thinkin of jumpin
She says she's tired of life
Everybody's tired of somethin round here.
She's always on my mind.
Around here
Hey man,
I got lots of time.
Around here, we're never sent to bed early
Man, no body makes us wait.
Around here we stay
Around here we stay up
Around here we stay up very, very, very late
I can't see nothin,
Nothin
Around here.
Ah..
Would you catch me if I was fallin?
Kiss me if I was leavin?
Will you hold me, cause I'm lonely without you
I said I'm under the gun around here.
Man, I said I'm lonely without you..
And I can't see nothin
Nothin
Around here.
