With summer wind against my back
I turn my neck back towards the past
And kink a muscle which hasn't moved in years
If every cigarette you kissed
Were tangerines or licorice
Your mumbles in the morning would be clear
Oh, who am I to be a heel
I question how she loves me still
Don't overthink the simple things she brings
I send you off and wish you well
To ride on your sharp carousel
A most familiar song to me she sings
Halo won't you love me
When I'm gone and feeling ugly
When I'm halfway round the bend
On a bender
Loneliness is pretty
In a populated city
You promised that you'd stay
Then you left her
I've darkened down the brightest rooms
Spent fifty bucks on six tattoos
To tell you every story that I know
I miserably meandered through
A tune that she was dancing to
How sad to be so comfortably alone
She's better off I'm better lost
I mumble bout the Pentecost
And curse the name of anyone who hears
I hunker down and buckle up
My life is short your time is up
Tell me where you see yourself in (five years)
Nowhere
In bad times I'm drowning like a punchline
In a room full of neckties
I try
To be half alive
My good moods
I'm sweating in a wool suit
And the words that I sold you
All of you
Are getting harder now to relate
Easier to walk away

Hmmm, then you left her
