lyrics

Calling out my lone gray hair,
Don’t laugh too hard - more are growing in,
Once upon a time, I would have been offended,
I was cooler then.
Buzzing on your second glass of wine,
A few small bites - you say you’re full,
Two sleepy eyes teasing mine,
Mine are doing fine behind the wool.
Turn out the lights,
Call it an early evening,
I dig this sense of calm,
I don’t want to jinx it,
Karma cuts the cards
and deals them while you’re blinking,
Worry about the odds tomorrow...
Tonight I’m breaking even.
You twitch the moment you fall into slumber
and I know you're really gone,
Tell me everything you dream when you return,
Don’t make me wait too long.
Skipping cracks - tossed salt,
Anything to earn myself a fool’s advantage,
Anything that keeps you counting grays,
Anything for second chances.

Injured bird stopped flailing,
He ain’t cursing at the ground,
Hitch a ride to gravity,
Blow a kiss - I’m coming down.
