lyrics

Unkempt hair and black shoes
The smell of smoke in the whole room
I found my keys behind you
Shook your arms until you came-to

I pressed, “lets move, the sun will be up soon”
I look for hope in big clues
It’s cold out. The heat’s broke
“Have my gloves to stay warm - you’ll be home real soon”

Dozing off in my twin bed
“I’m coming home for the weekend,
Are you around? Let's make plans!
“I’d love to see you, just say when!”

The train’s late and I’m freezing,
I’m looking through texts you’ve sent me and
I’m kicking around some dead leaves.
Its a bright night and full moon
Driving past I look to moss covered walls and a red roofs

Put down my things and walked out
I know I’ve been gone, but I’m here now. How?
The window’s fogged; I can’t see out
I tell myself I should calm down

I’m not trapped,
I just thought you could help me up when I can’t walk
I could hardly be what I want
That house, my car - I can see though them if I sing hard
I know that it’s you but it wont stop
