lyrics

Heavy eyes and neither of us talking,
Waiting for that puny flame to die.
Little Dipper, Southern Cross, connect the dots but we’re still lost,
Out of breath and dumbstruck at the sky.

Syrup skin stuck to wet clothes,
Our empties lined like soldiers on a rail,
Five years gone and you won’t speak his name,
Your faded stick-and-poke still tells the tale.

Shake the dust and spread your wings,
Clear your tone-deaf throat and try to sing,
Whatever it was doesn’t hurt anymore,
And whatever will be is alright.

I heard you kicked some nasty habits,
Took back your own last name,
Day-shift life - an apartment of your own,
Staying in nights, being lame.

Out here you laugh the way you used to,
Your bogeyman died in the weeds.
There’s nothing left to run away from,
Go where you’re going to in peace.

Sunrise creeping - I don’t want to face today,
And your smile has got me chewing on words I’ll never say,
Whatever it was doesn’t hurt anymore,
And whatever will be is alright.

Bad advice is all I’m good for,
I guess I’ll keep it to myself,
But I’d rather wander in the dark with you
Than see the light with anybody else.
