It gets loneliest at night.

Down at the liquor store.

Beneath the neon sky.

Six A.M., the floor comes alive with lice.
Gadd4
The pan's dried up so tight.
Fadd9 C
With hardened beans.
Gadd4 Am
So I lean on you sometimes.

Just to see if you're still there.

These feet can't take the weight of one.

Much less two.

You know I painted you a prettier picture, baby.

Some change could make a change

This palm upturned burnt blue.

I kissed the bottle.

I should've been kissing you.

You wake up to an empty night.

With tears for two.
