lyrics

I was a split fifth crater-side, window shopping for returned smiles. I was wasted but I was placed straight for a while. And I was something thousand high for a day, feeling like home was the last place I wanted to be. Why couldn't you just be here with me? From the High Streets to the red lights, via the fuckin moon and a rough night, with a stop on a stranger's floor around sunrise. From the flash floods to the long drives. Service to somewhere that's open all night. Don't let me crash until we've arrived. The lights from the street fill your place here next to me, though I know even if I somehow fall asleep, I'll just forget to breathe and end up wishing I'd stayed the lesser of two shitty shapes nights make of me. When I get home I'll re-weigh the things that keep making me leave against the one and only thing that keeps me sweeping sawdust around this city. No way to explain to you the perfect sense these places make to me. So highlight, tip your head back, count to three on the only stars the streetlights let us see. At least promise you'll bury me someplace just a bit warmer than here, with a plastic bag or two and no sight of you, so I can sleep with the things that I fear.
