Ethel Cain
Age Of Delilah (Demo)

[Verse 1]
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
And it hurts to grow up, when your knees are still cut
But for us, life's never been without blood

[Chorus]
I'm 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

[Verse 2]
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 why, why
And thеy ask how it felt to suffocate myself
But not everything feels like something else

[Chorus]
I'm 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, oh
Can you just tell me which way I'm driving?
Interstate or the highway, I'm going, I'm ready

[Bridge]
Twenty '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"
[Chorus]
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
