i would ask you how you've been , but it's all over the internet .
but hey , i mean , you knew that after all .
you're looking for an autopsy , or a half assed half apology .
i think you picked the wrong time to make this call .
it is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine .
i'm giving you the benefit 'cause it's raining out .
i hope you tell me that you're winding down .
it ain't up to you to make it out .
there ain't no shame in calling this thing quits .
i ain't holding my breath , ain't holding any faith at all .
i'll pray for you , be in pain for you .
i'll leave the porch light on .
so it goes , so it goes , so it goes . . .
you act like we just sit up here & wait for you to reappear .
baby there are bills to pay .
i try to drown out all the talk , the eyeballs in the parking lot .

i wanna drop the gloves but you're far too patient .
i wanna see you lose it , i wanna hear you say it .
i wanna know the dark that i share a brain with .
tell me when you were broken .
do you still have a heart or has somebody stole it ?
i'm far too tired to watch you lie , so let's just watch tv .
i'll get your house paid off so the feds can't touch it .
another thing we don't talk about anymore .
don't worry , i won't bring it up .
you can scream at me when i come home drunk .
it's fine , i know your company line .
we're both exhausted for different reasons .
you said you got a guilty conscience , but i ain't never seen it .
i'm well prepared to never meet him .

they finally caught the guys who blew up those two police cars .
it was a couple college kids who thought the town was dumb as rocks .
i always wish you well when i pass the old gas station with the banner on the front that shows how tolerant they are .
you'll get told to go to hell by some summer time flatlander with a coexisting sticker on the bumper of their car .
it's gone to shit without you .
it was shit before , but at least i had you .
there ain't nothing to report , but i hope you're bored & headed north .
i've been taking your advice & trying to scream less at the tourists .
i've been working on my timing when i ask too much of you .
if i see one more cybertruck i swear to god i'm gonna floor it .
need somebody here to talk me out of things i can't undo .
๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ .
saw the world from up close .
it ain't much to look at compared to you in your work clothes .
i can't make myself whole , most days i'd be lucky just to get half .
you've seen me in places so low , you can recognize when it's real bad .
used to hate the silence . used to make me think about the old days .
out here i can hear your heartbeat .
i can hear the start of a long sigh .
i don't need my name back .
i love you & i can't fake that for a moment .
for a moment we go way back .
i'm always trying to run from what i'm known for .
i've never seen the rain fall so hard .
honey , we're north of nowhere now .
heaven is a drink in the back yard as we watch the storm touch down .

.
gambling with the sun on which one of us dies young .
i ain't afraid to hold the gun if it leads me to the safe .
tell the fellas at the morgue that i'm heading back on tour .
i'm filling every pause .
i'm speaking when i know something .
they'll say ' i wanna be you , but i don't wanna be that ' .
i wanna be you , but i don't wanna be that .
im betting on the north to drag my ass back down to earth .
where i'm from & what i'm worth have gotten too damn intertwined .
fuck it , i might even disappear .
i hope you've had a decent time .
gonna be rich in our own way .
i swear you're gonna get it , kid , someday .
