I used to believe that things would change but here we go again
Riding a spinning carousel, this circle never ends
This kitchen table has seen it all before
These walls are tired of standing 
Can't hold us anymore

[Chorus]
One Mississippi, I close my eyes
Two Mississippi, I'm beggin' you that we can still survive
Three Mississippi, no lookin' back
Gone for good, and I know that
I won't change my mind, oh yeah
Three Mississippi is where I'm at tonight

We're all out of second chances and all out of one more times
There's not a word we haven't said nothing we have not tried
My bones are achin' from the weight I'm holding now
I took all that I'm taking
I'm breaking, breaking down

[Chorus]

Hold my breath, close my eyes, goodbye
Oh, One Mississippi, I close my eyes
Two Mississippi, I'm beggin' you that we can still survive
Three Mississippi, no lookin' back
Gone for good and I know that
I won't change my mind
No, I won't change my mind
Three Mississippi is where I'm at tonight
Three Mississippi is where I'm at tonight
