Ethel Cain - Age Of Delilah lyrics

There comes a day you sneak out
But you don’t go home
Where you’re out past the streetlights
Running down the road and
Your daddy won’t know it hurts to grow up
When your knees are still cut
But for us, life’s never been without blood

Getting life’s cold goodbye wave from
The dark of the driveway
Crying, I’m no good at goodbyes
So I leave it to the lights
Can you just tell me which way I’m driving
Interstate or the highway, I’m going
I’m ready

There comes a day you find out
That you don’t wanna die
They’ll say it’s time you finally grew up
You’ve been gone for quite a whilе
But they’ll never ask you why
Thеy ask how it felt to suffocate myself
But not everything feels like something else

Getting life’s cold goodbye wave from
The dark of the driveway
Crying, I’m no good at goodbyes
So I leave it to the lights
Can you just tell me which way I’m driving
Interstate or the highway, I’m going
I’m ready

20 'til midnight at gas stations
Praying to a stranger’s dogs
In the parking lot
I asked have I done enough for salvation
They said you’ll die if you
Leave it up to God
Said I’ve been drinking from this river
'til I bled it dry
But they looked me dead in my eyes and said
It doesn’t matter if the grass is
Greener on the other side
As long as it’s alive

So give it one last goodbye wave
In the light of the highway
Crying, I’m no good at goodbyes
But I’ve waited my whole life
So you just tell me which way I’m driving
Interstate or the highway, we’re going
We’re ready
