Lyrics

fell asleep with the tv on
finally feelin’ like i belong
woke up to a funeral song

called you up to say hello
left a message for you at home
packed my dishes in styrofoam
everything i knew was gone

it’s raining in ohio
the streets are slick
shows what i know
i hear their cries through my window
they’re mourning again in america
mourning again in america

tied my shoes when i woke up
drew my curtains just enough
thought about the ones i love

tucked my chin into my coat
shrugged my shoulders, cleared my throat
walked the banks of the ohio
felt a chill to the bone
