lyrics

now it’s been almost a year
since you said you’d be right back
with the backdrop a taxi
in the aerosol freeze
you said “if i’m honest,
i think if i wasn’t leavin’,
you wouldn’t have any reason to talk to me”
now it’s slicker than cinnamon
on the roof of yr mouth
there’s medicine in the water
if you can keep it all down
if i made it harder than it had needed to be
it didn’t give you a reason to talk to me
well you got obliterated
lost in yr thoughts on the walk back to bed
it’s hard to articulate it
so many words for how little you said
you’ve gotta fake it babe
just take a chance, try to make it better
it only gets scarier
you say you think I’d make a great
communicator someday
someone to talk to
while i was draggin’ my fists
i had the time of my life
and you were runnin’ a bath
you had yr hand on the knife
yr stepmom emptied the trash
saw where the cutlery went
proceeded to ask me just how my night was
spent
and we got obliterated
there’s not a lot left for the rest of the night
i got you situated
a glass from the tap and I switched off the
light
you’ve gotta face it babe
you took a chance and you came
untethered
it only got scarier
you say you think i’d make a great
communicator someone
234 talk to
