lyrics

written by: Erin Kron

When I was three I dangled from my neck
And I figured behaving was still my best bet
To survive all the agony thrown out my way
And I looked to my father with nothing to say

And my grandmother's grave followed me into school
And I knew even then that I'd never be cool
All the things that could kill me swam round in my brain
And I spent so much time trying to prove I'm not strange
Anyway

Then I met you anyway
Then I fell in love and in a way
Maybe all that means I'm meant to
Find my way from above

And I was driving through Joshua Tree
When I saw you sitting there next to me
And the dog on my lap, she was falling asleep
And for once I didn't care how fucked up I seem

So I picked up a paper
Read it to myself
And I taught me
How I'm just a capital elf
And those fairies we fed in the Woodland backyard
Were the same little workers who told me life's hard

And I lived many lives fearing my IPO
Was about to be shorted and I'd be alone
And it wasn't till you that I started to hope
That the value in love wasn't how I could cope

Anyway
Then I met you anyway
Then I fell in love and in a way
Maybe all that means I'm meant to
Find my way from above

And I was driving through Joshua Tree
When I saw you sitting there next to me
All the alien plants made me feel so at home
And I felt so relieved not to be on my own

And I was driving through Joshua Tree
When I realized everything I need's here with me
Oh I was driving through Joshua Tree
When I realized everything I need's
Here with me

You're all I need
Here with me
In Joshua Tree
Just you and me
In Joshua Tree, in Joshua Tree, in Joshua
Tree
