lyrics

Dear Ohio, can you hear me?
Do you still like the way I say your name?
Are you hungry, for a new life?
Are you ready to be rescued just one more time?

Dear Ohio, are you still there?
Do you like the way I run my fingers through your hair?
In the springtime, when it's just right
When the snow is a reminder of our past life

Cause I've been chasing sun, since I knew you were the one
And I think that I'm in love with you darling
And I don't want to run from you, please don't jump the gun
I just need a little more of something else before I hold you

Dear Ohio, do you miss me?
Do you wonder if you'll ever get to kiss me?
Just wait a year now, and I know somehow
When the Mississippi freezes you'll be here now

Cause I've been chasing sun, since I knew you were the one
And I think that I'm in love with you darling
And I don't want to run from you, please don't jump the gun
I just need a little more of something else before I hold you

And oh, just hold on for a little
More, you can get out of the middle of this
World, you're surrounded by your doubt, I can help you figure out
How to scream instead of shout

Oh Dear Ohio, don't let me down now
Can't you see that I'm calling for you in the crowd
And I miss you, can't wait to kiss you
Don't you think for just one second I've dismissed you

Dear ohio, can you hear me?
Do you still like the way I say your name?

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
