Lyrics
The night you flickered forth, right into Fifth and Powell
I saw your heart jump when he handed you that bottle
How sick do you feel after finding all your problems?
You swallowed every sip, I thought you couldn't follow
You worked an evening shift, I caught you in the morning
I didn't see you curled up, writhing on my doorstep
You told me something, I forgot what you had said
All I remember is you wanted to be dead
And when that man comes home, I bet you'll hate his teeth
Rows of white, smelling of everything you seek
He'll pop his trunk open and there'll you find the curse
I meant to sing a song but I forgot the verse
And like with everything you take it day by day
Every pill you drop and everything you say
They're all just phantoms that will never go away
So when you try to find some time you're stuck in yesterday
I punched you and I hugged you, you said you weren't the same
You thought of quitting but I know you can't leave a game
You feel like you're the worst, you barely know it all
You're just a child, how did you get so tall?
I've been so torn apart since I've known the score
Keep going day by day until you hit the floor
And I'll just sit right here, hands covering my face
I want to save you, but you just won't knock the taste
So if I miss you I'll just trot my way to Fifth
And I'll smell smoke and think of us playing as kids
And if I miss you, I'll feel tempt to pop a tab
And feel bad that you just got swallowed by the past
