Another story-telling song, Caleb and co follow a waitress from “Waco to WeHo,” and through her difficult relationship with a hardened man. It’s a small town tale given a huge sonic backdrop.
The first single from the record, it earned a video and a rollout which saw NME reviewing the track. Despit...
[Verse 1]
All the way from Waco to WeHo with a rabbit on her chain
Drove a little slick car to tend bar with the static on her brain
She's a little burner, burner, gonna throw you to the flame
Little ticking time bomb, time bomb, gonna blow us all away
[Chorus]
Oh, take the time to waste a moment
Oh, never ask to be forgiven
[Verse 2]
Tex, he was her boyfriend with no kin always running from the law
Every other weekend, the week ends with his back in her claw
He's a livewire, wired, shooting sparks in the night
He’s a gun for a hire, hired with a bead in his sights
[Chorus]
Oh, take the time to waste a moment
Oh, facing where the lines are broken
Oh, name your price to all this living
Oh, never ask to be forgiven
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Oh, take the time to waste a moment
Oh, face it where the lines are broken
Oh, name a price to all that's living
Oh, never ask to be forgiven
