Okay

She wakes up in the morning
says to me
‘I don’t love you
Like I used to’
that’s okay
Come home in the night
soaking wet
hadn’t seen her in days
that’s okay
The day we met we met by the water
and I thought you could save me
that wasn’t fair
that’s okay
When you left you left me alone
with the telephone dial tone
that’s okay
There are worse things in life
than being alone
that’s okay

Who
02:17

Who are you seeing now
it’s getting colder out
I’m pulling up in a black car
but you’re long gone by now
who are you fucking now
who’s bed are lying naked in
I’ve still got some self respect
I’m going to use it all by not opening your door
What am I supposed to do now
time never came
time just waited and turned the blade

Dreams
01:46
|

|
I forget my dreams
as soon as I wake up
and you’re no different from the rest
The floor is cold to the touch
and all the leaves fell before I woke up
and now the day is an endless parade of gray
I’m forgetting what I thought I’d remember
and everything tastes the same
so I’m putting out my cigarette and coming back inside
I feel alone a lot of the time
I know that you do to
words just aren’t enough
words just aren’t enough
anymore

Shed
03:49
|
|||
|
Every day
is something you never wanted
The future
is waiting for something you won’t get
It’s all about you
You’re a shadow in my bed
you’re the secrets we buried behind the shed
I’m standing in the rain
the places you never came
The lights are on in the towers
and far below
here comes the cold
you’ve been waiting for
What it is to be alone

Old Hope
03:40
|
|||
|
You wear that green dress
the one that makes your eyes shine
Your hair is blonde and bright
with shadows that are deep
My eyes see you from across the room
and there’s just nothing I can do
I know in the back of my mind
that I closed the door before I could let you in
We’ve got not reason to be sad
just the rain and the morning and a stranger’s smile
So we’ll sing our song
off kilter and out of key
I know It’s hard
when what you used to have is gone
It’s an old hope
that keeps you smiling at your friends
but in the empty spaces of the night
you can’t pretend anymore
This is the last song
We’ll be singing it till we’re gone.
