[Verse 1]
Am I calling too late? I can
Hear something in your voice
Time changes and mistakes and
You won't let me go
South Dakota's June was cold
Minnesota heat's killing lawns
Wasn't it a week ago
Your delicate flowers froze?
Wasn't it just a week ago?
[Chorus]
I wanna float on my back from the beginning of the river
To my birthplace and through
Let the current take me, yield to her strength
She's beautiful and brutal glass smooth
See she will be, waits patiently for delivery
Let me melt into you
Let me melt into you
Let me melt into you, Mississippi Blue
Let me melt into you, Mississippi Blue
[Verse 2]
California, we have met before
Do you remember me?
Bound for Texas from the midwest
Young and not bothering
Now I return to your edge of the Earth
Steep cliff before me and behind me the world
There was stillness before you were born
To return until you are gone
This really is the perfect place to fight an urge
[Bridge]
And if you wanna fly, fall into the Earth
Into the arms of a comedic drama
Put your arms around your west coast mama
Sees the best in you no matter what you do
I see the good in you, Mississippi Blue
[Chorus]
I wanna float on my back from the beginning of the river
To my birthplace and through
Let the current take me, yield to her strength
She's beautiful and brutal glass smooth
See she will be, waits patiently for delivery
Let me melt into you
You let me melt into you
Let me melt into you, Mississippi Blue
Let me melt into you, Mississippi Blue
Let me melt into you, Mississippi Blue
