Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Cut this picture into you and me

Burn it backwards, kill this history

Make it over, make it stay away

Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say

[PreChorus]

There's a kid a floor below me saying

"Brother, can you spare sunshine for a brother, Old Man Winter's in the air?"

Walked me up a story, asking how you are

Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star

[Chorus]

Sweet Adeline

Sweet Adeline

My Clementine

Sweet Adeline

[Verse 2]

It's a picture-perfect evening and I'm staring down the sun

Fully loaded, deaf, and dumb, and done

Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head

Or any situation where I'm better off than dead
