he read she said that they were dead
but then he said he too could see red
and when she said he had already fled
it went unsaid until they bled

ain’t nobody close to where they are

he thought if she were all that he
would need he’d know what way to go
he want to know what way she be
but when she showed he scared he blow

ain’t nobody close to where they are
ain’t nobody close to where they are

and then she turned to him and she did say
that you don’t know it but you are to blame
and when she did he did turn and say
there’s nothin’ left for him but to run

’cause if they were then they would hurt
in here unheard by the sin of words
there was no way that they could stay
again they ran she bled he pay

ain’t nobody close to where they are
ain’t nobody close to where they are

and then she turned to him and she did say
that it ain’t so clear now who is to blame
and when she did he did turn and say
don’t even try to take these thorns away

and then it rained
and the truth came
they had to know
that they both
were to blame

ain’t nobody close to where they are
ain’t nobody close to where they are
