Bitter/Sweet - Rhett Miller

Motel in the middle

Of a field full of oil wells

With a swimming pool blue as the sky

Blacktop is smokin'

The earth’s broken open

We’re so far away from goodbye

But goodbye is hummin'

Out on the horizon

Past all the shimmerin' heat

We know it’s comin'

There’s no use in cryin'

I might get bitter but you’ll always be sweet

Light falls on white walls

In ladders and we’re all

Wrapped up in a up-up-and-away

Trusty old dusk

He approaches on crutches

And runs off what’s left of the day

Goodbye is spoken

There’s no more horizon

The sirens all sing on the street

The bottle is broken

The red flames are risin'

I might get bitter but you’ll always be sweet

I’ll fly over you and I’ll look down

And I’ll wonder who’s keeping you warm tonight

Won’t get over you but I’ll go on and on

Past the horizon 'til I’m out of sight

Motel in the middle

Of a field full of oil wells

With a swimming pool blue as I’ll be

At the end of the winter

When there’s ice at the center

Of the young man that used to be me

Goodbyes and goodnights

And good lucks and hold tights

Shattered like glass 'round my feet

Someday I might

Get bitter, it’s alright

But you will always be sweet

You, you will always be sweet

You, you will always be sweet
