you drive to the liquor store
you’re taking the long way round
like you don’t know where you’re going
like you haven’t been there before
you said i should be nicer
even to people you don’t know
i’m just talking behind their back
but you still think i could be kinder
i said that i quit smoking
i still keep a pack of camel blues on the windowsill
told me you should really get going
but you’re still undressed
pass out in the living room
you’re up at dawn in your too small bed
text me photos of the sunrise
i won’t act surprised when you’re sending them to somebody else instead
you say that i’ve had too much to drink
that’s ok you’re probably right
but if i was sober
would you still be coming over every friday night
we can hold ourselves together
with whispered prayers for what comes next
flicking ash out of the windows
giving all the world our our best
in the morning i’ll know better
in the morning i can rest
i don’t think when we’re together
i can finally hang my head
i don’t need somewhere to go to feel alright
i can feel alright at home if i’m with you
