lyrics

Strings of bad luck
Twists of fate
Always left me nothing
But a bad taste.

Stale beer
And Cigarettes
Another long night
Just another I'm trying to forget.

I'm still waking up
All alone
An empty bed
Stars on the ceiling in a childhood home.

At least its quiet
At least you're awake
Long enough to pick up the phone
To make that call you didn't think you'd make.

Dumb and drunk we slow danced
Thirty six questions proving romance
My body disappeared into yours
On the carpet in that old apartment.

The houses that we slept in were empty
Drives to work cigarettes and coffee
Became the usual things I'd do
All the things I'd do for you.

Hold my breath, you hold your liquor
But it couldn't have ended any fucking quicker
I forgot how to sleep alone in the room I rented to
Get away from the thought of you.

I'm pulling over in some dumbass place
In a dirty bathroom I tried so hard to face
The fact I'm not leaving it all behind.

A song plays we used to sing
Avoiding awkward comforting conversations
I have with myself on the long drive home.
