[Verse 1]
Ain't that the way it always starts
A simple round of conversation
Became a shameful equation
I flipped you station to station
Hey, don't go and turn the other way
Don't say there's nothin' more to say
Come on, hear me out, hush, hush, settle down
Button up, don't make a sound, shame, shame, go away
Come again some other day
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up
[Chorus]
You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop
[Verse 2]
Chase all of those memories away
Save them all for another day
Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you
Wait, I want to see if you can shake
I want to keep all I can take
I feel much better now, use me up, spit me out
Let me be your hand-me-down, fame, fame, go away
Come again some other day
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up
[Chorus]
You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop
[Post-Chorus]
My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your arms
My sweet Virginia, I'm the same as I was in your heart
[Bridge]
Shame, shame go away, some again some other day
Memories keep hauntin' me, help me chase them all away
Hush, now settle down, button up, don't make a sound
Close your eyes, turn around, help me burn this to the ground
Come now, take the blame, that's okay, I'll play the game
I don't care, it's all the same, watch it all go up in flames
Use me up, spit me out, let me be your hand-me-down
Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been savin' it up, I started savin' it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started givin' you up, I started givin' you up
[Chorus]
You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop
[Post-Chorus]
My sweet Virginia, oh, God, you gotta make it stop
My sweet Virginia, oh, God, you gotta make it stop
