I guess I got a taste for poison
I've given up on ever being well
I keep minding the horizon
Digging for lies I have yet to tell

And I wish you were here
And softly say my name
Calm down all the chemicals tearing through my brain
I don't think I've missed you this much
Since I was seventeen
I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream

Cherokee
Cherokee
Well you'd call those doubts right out of me

I see you shining through the tree tops
But don't feel you pulling strings anymore
I still use your old alarm clock
Every morning I get further off the course

And don't I hear you speaking in the noises in this house
Airplanes flying over, shaking all my secrets out
Darling tell me something that I don't already know
I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go

To Cherokee
Cherokee
Well, you call those doubts right out of me

It felt like the world was burning
You had stars in your eyes
Shining for a feeling that I can't afford to buy
Everything you taught me still rattles in my head
I'm staying off of Main Street
You're talking to the dead

In Cherokee
Cherokee
I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me
