lyrics

I'm not in the headspace for a love affair
You can hold me, but don't touch me there
I'd run my fingers through your hair
But I'm leaving tomorrow

My aorta's getting overstretched
I leave my heart and pack up all the rest
This gaping hole up in my chest
Just might close up forever

What can I even offer you but astral projection and a letter or two?

I almost start to feel like I'm a deadbeat dad
To the children that we never had
Like I'm always doing something bad
If I don't stay here and love you

If I could I'd pack your town upon my back
I wouldn't have to keep on holding back
Keep your calculated plans intact
You're too heavy to carry

If I'd never left and if she hadn't stayed
They might have never made those plans they laid
Been dealt the hand that leaves one card unplayed
And they're living together

You could blame it on my gypsy blood
But that's a little bit too Hollywood
I swear I'd settle if I could
But I don't know where my home is

The roamers want to settle down, the settled want to roam around.

In your eyes I see a soul I want to touch
And my dreams about you make me blush
Every contact gives me such a rush
Does that mean I'm perverted?

Maybe if I try I can grow out of sex
Let love and loneliness lay down to rest
As it stands my chances aren't the best
To stay Happy Forever

Milly Raccoon Nashville, Tennessee

Trained by campfires and tavern jams all over the world, Milly Raccoon’s eccentric and poignant lyrics mix with musical stylings that seem to have travelled out of the past, emulating classic country, early jazz, and other antiquated Americana. There is a connecting thread of spirituality, healing and liberation weaving through her work.
