lyrics

Yeah I heard you running from yourself.
Can't keep it inside, never knew how to hide away,
And she can't take another day.
Now won't you make that drive out to the coast?
Hiding behind that smiling face, such a pretty view,
And a tragic taste.

And you came to tell me that it's all your fault,
In the corner of your delirious or my bleeding heart.

And you don't know what you've been missing,
Evangeline your hands feel different,
Than when we were so young.
Oh sweet little thing under city lights you stay,
You're the goddamned saint of teenage strays, yeah.
Well dust to dust. Well dust to dust.

Yeah I heard you running from yourself.
Kicking stones beneath your feet,
what candy coated thing stole your dreams away,
And she can't take another day.
Oh angel on your shoulder bring you peace tonight,
But no one could breath behind those eyes, oh so bright,
And so terrified.

And you came to tell me that it's not that bad.
So high when you're feeling low oh that's how these
Stories always go-

You don't know what you've been missing,
Evangeline your hands feel different,
Than when we were so young.
Oh sweet little thing under city lights you stay,
You're the goddamned saint of teenage strays, yeah.
Well dust to dust. Well dust to dust.

You could build your own world maybe,
Or burn it down they'd call you crazy.
How could you waste another second in this place.
When's the last time you got your fix,
I'm glancing down at your wrist.
Oh you've been swept away,
But no this 'aint your fate.

And You don't know what you've been missing,
Evangeline your hands feel different,
Than when we were so young.
Oh sweet little thing under city lights you stay,
You're the goddamned saint of teenage strays, yeah.
Well dust to dust. Well dust to dust.
(Woah oh oh oh)
Well dust to dust
(Woah oh oh oh)
Well dust to dust
(Woah oh oh oh)
Well dust to dust
(Woah oh oh oh)

And You don't know what you've been missing,
Evangeline your hands feel different,
Than when we were so young.
