Empty Threat - Kathleen Edwards

The hottest days of the summer

They brought us here together

You know it’s true

But this cold now it’s getting warmer

Maybe come September I will feel brand new

I’m moving to America,

Moving to America,

Moving to America,

It’s an empty threat

In the city I once would never

I’m learning to say never never never ever

'Cause now I’m its favorite flower

I’m blooming through to the concrete cracks of this condo tower

I’m moving to America,

Moving to America,

Moving to America,

It’s an empty threat

(?) course of ours

(?) of thunder showers

I hit that head until it bled

I miss you sick goddammit

I’m moving to America,

Moving to America,

Moving to America,

It’s an empty threat

I’m moving to America,

Moving to America,

Moving to America,

It’s not an empty threat

The hottest days of the summer

They brought us here together

You know it’s true
