Waco, Texas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My honey’s heart is blue and a second offbeat
Always tugging at me like he’s running out of daylight
Yeah, my baby acts cool but they all know something ain’t right, ain’t right
Only acting this cool when he’s walking with me
1998 forever and a day
I keep the pictures hanging where the world can see ’em
I hope we die today
Save me from another late night of red eyes
But then the morning comes
You were there looking for me but I
I was gone, turned my back for a moment and
You had fallen apart
[Verse 2]
They’ve been promising the lights as we beg for our lives
Selling pages of the times we’ve been waiting on
Now the weight’s too much and I can’t hold you anymore
How much of a cruel year can you call my fault?
Not even the memories are immortal
Terrified on this side of a conversation
A conversation we’ll never come back from
I’ll never live it down if I never get around it
‘Cause goddammit, I did it to myself in hindsight
I liked him ’cause his rule was, “Do whatever you like,” and I tried, alright
Now I’ll wear these scars for life
I loved you when it hurt inside to
But in the low light
You know I’d do anything for you
[Chorus]
You know I’d do anything for you
You know it’s true, ’cause I’ve said it to you
Held in my arms, I swore I’d be good to you
Then sat and watched as you walked away from me

Waco, Texas Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
She’s describing someone she loves who always seems a little off, like his heart isn’t in rhythm with the world. He’s restless, like he’s chasing something or running out of time. Even though he tries to act cool and collected, people can see that something’s bothering him. He only really puts on that act when they’re together, maybe trying to seem strong for her. She clings to old memories, like photos from the past, maybe from 1998, trying to freeze those good moments in time. There’s a dark feeling here—like she wants them to escape everything, even through death, just to stop the pain. Nights are hard, full of tired eyes and worry. And in the mornings, even when he’s physically there, it’s like she isn’t—emotionally checked out. Then one day, she looks away for a moment, and everything falls apart. He breaks down, and she wasn’t there to stop it.
[Verse 2]
She talks about false hope—how promises were made, maybe by society or life itself, while they were struggling just to get by. They were told things would get better, but those promises never came true. Now it’s all become too heavy, and she feels like she can’t carry him or his pain anymore. She starts to question if the hard times were her fault, and the guilt sets in. Even the memories they made don’t feel safe or lasting anymore—they’re fading, just like everything else. She’s scared to even talk about what happened, knowing that whatever was said or done has changed things forever. There’s no going back. She knows she’ll regret it if she doesn’t face it, but it’s painful to admit how much of it was her doing. She fell for his “do whatever you want” attitude, thinking it would be freeing, but it left her with emotional scars. Even when it hurt, she still loved him, and in her quietest moments, she knows she’d still do anything for him.
[Chorus]
She’s trying to remind him—and maybe herself—that her love was real. She told him she’d be good to him and really meant it. She held him, made promises, but in the end, she just watched him walk away, powerless to stop it.
