lyrics

Wake in the night
grab your coat
hanging by the light
in the hallway
we're going for a drive
you can tell me all about it someday
I just need some time to figure it out
get high enough to realize we are not the same
but we are the same
goddamn the whiskey
that's flowing through your veins
it feels like I'm just halfway there
passing off the reigns
the whitest eyes
cast the blame
on the guilty party
without a name
years of endless bliss
are catching up to us
as we tip toe through the darkness
it was easily the hardest thing I've had to do
but I was there for you
tracing a line
from where the noise is coming from
you were so uneasy tapping on the bar
waiting for police to grab you by the arm
is this vision real or just a metaphor
you beautiful motherfucker
flying off the handle
I can see all the weight of the world is crushing you
but was I crushing you too


Shame in your eyes
in the background
of every wasted night
riding trains to destinations
few and far between the spaces
hanging on the bench
to brace yourself to stay awake
and see the moment
that it falls apart
quiet revelation
a secret conversation
just a little too heavy
to absorb
