one mississippi
two mississippi
counting down the seconds
standing in the wreckage of love
on a cold grey jackson dawn
oh i just can't watch this
sure can't stop this
i keep waiting
your tail lights are fading
i see you're already gone
i'm half of who i used to be
one mississippi
lipstick on the coffee cup
i know i should wash it up
but maybe i'll just wait here for a little while
i run my fingers around the top
where your lips were i just stop
cause i
i can almost see your smile
and it's one mississippi
two mississippi
counting down the seconds
standing in the wreckage of love
on a cold grey jackson dawn
and i know everybody's got their demons
everybody's got their reasons
why they leave when they run
oh but baby i could have helped you through it
you built a wall and i couldn't get to it
now i'm waiting for the rain
and the pain to come
and it's one mississippi
two mississippi
counting down the seconds
standing in the wreckage of love
on a cold grey jackson dawn
oh i just can't watch this
sure can't stop this
i keep waiting
your tail lights are fading
i see you're already gone
i'm half of who i used to be
one mississippi
oh one mississippi yeah yeah yeah
