LYRICS

Four miles out and walking home on a flat and broken ankle, I'm in the dark alone. Whether clueless from the start or just lost along the way, an empty city brings to mind the words I thought but couldn't say to you when you were here. Little hands and eager ears.

I'm aging like a boxer's mouth. Never ducking quick enough, watching my options all fall out. Opportunities, they pass like streetlights on my face. Behind me they resign: "Another time, another place". Well, you knew me...always a bike ride away, always slightly out of key.

I can't stay up all night forever.
I can't always sing you back to sleep.
I can't roll on forever.
My chin music, it grew up just like me.

So wrap your fists and move along. This halcyon I sing of, those days have come and gone. Are you bitter anymore? Do you harmonize your pain? In every line you write about me, you amplify your shame. Resolve. Let's find a better note to end this on. And you said, "Leave what you can't take. I know better than to wait for a miracle on my front lawn."
