Cherokee

I guess I got a taste for poison

I've given up on ever bein' well

And I keep mindin' the horizon

Diggin' for lies I've yet to tell

And I wish you were here

To softly say my name

Calm down all the chemicals

Tearin' through my brain

I don't think I missed you this much

Since I was seventeen

I'd call you in the morning

But I think this is a dream

Cherokee

Cherokee

Well, you'd carve those doubts right out of me

I see you shinin' through the treetops

But I don't feel you pullin' strings anymore

I still use your old alarm clock

Every morning, I get further off the course

And don't I hear you speakin' in the noises in this house?

Airplanes flyin' over, shakin' all my secrets out

But, darling, tell me something that I don't already know

I'm aware of where to find you, it hurts too bad to go

To Cherokee

Cherokee

Well, you'd carve those doubts right out of me

I felt like the world was burnin'

You had stars in your eyes

Shinin' for a feeling that I can't afford to buy

But everything you taught me still rattles in my head

I'm stayin' off of Main Street

You're talkin' to the dead

In Cherokee

Cherokee

I wish you'd carve these doubts right out of me
