You Caught Me

I’m having trouble waking up these days,
Three cups in and all my foot can do is shake,
Shake, shake, shake to the song that ended our last mixtape.
My car won’t start, my bike won’t work,
I was a jerk and I’m sorry.
For what it’s worth I’ve done my worst,
So cut me off, don’t forgive me.
You caught me spiking my own punch behind the bar,
Drinking words like wine and chewing every wire.
You caught me faking my own death it’s worked so far
You caught me doing nothing wrong, so just leave me alone.
Eyes can’t lie don’t say we’re fine,
I drew my line and you crossed it.
I’m on your side, aren’t you on mine
I know, I know, I know, I know.
You caught me and you pulled me down and you sold me out it’s alarming
You caught me and you called me out.

If I could turn turn this light on when I need to I’ll be alright but it’s not fair when you’re not there.
Well I’ve been pretty low and I know you feel the same. Can’t it be June? I’m sick of May.
The water will kill you, it pains me to say, that I’m gonna miss you.
So if the hero wins can I get up and begin to fix my own life. Would you still care, or dissapear?
I’m breaking all the rules that I set myself when I get uptight, I think it’s fair when I say it is.

Smoke (Bad Dreams)

Hold on, I talk to myself too much. I swear that it numbs my tongue till it makes its way down to my lungs.
I can’t stand lying to you. The snake in our garden for two. We plant things to watch them explode. We talk tough, yet rugged for fun. When I’m done digging you up I’ll call first and let you hang up. This won’t work, I can’t win. There’s smoke in my bad dreams.
There’s smoke in my bad dreams and it’s coming for me.
Hold on, I talk to you too much. You make me do that stuff that hurts you but helps me.

Heaven Knows

Where have I gone, no, where’d I go wrong? Only heaven knows I’m not gonna make it alone.
I couldn’t help you when you needed it the most, I should have drove you home. I’m a “waiting room regular”. Who could this be? The mouth fits the frame but the eyes aren’t green and it changes from dream to dream. Couldn’t be warm, couldn’t be comfortable. I can’t believe this happened to me.
