Rhode Island

Pick up the phone
And the dial tone
And it makes something in my fingers snap
The snap it flies
From hands to head
Like the shock of
Finding out something
Someone already knows

I offer you much more
Than I know I can afford

Scratch your name off of my list
Of people who still admire me
There are all these pictures
And ghosts
And best friends
Fade to nothing
In time

I promised you the world
That's one-tenth of what I'm
Delivering

It's like giving you
Rhode Island
In comparison
It's like giving
Rhode Island
Away

It's like giving you
Rhode Island
In comparison
It's like giving you
Rhode Island
In comparison

It's like giving you
Rhode Island
It's like giving you
Rhode Island
It's like giving you
Rhode Island
It's like giving you
Rhode Island
It's like giving you
Rhode Island
It's like giving you
Rhode Island
It's like giving
Rhode Island
Away
