Asphalt

Back when

Once it hits you, I fall right into

Lookin' at the sidewalk

Searchin' in the asphalt

Drawin' out what we should conclude

Pushin', hopin' we cross

Countin' all the white blocks

Holdin' onto what we should lose

Stuck in place

I would leave, but I can't be at home without you

Change your face

I could sleep, but I can't sleep at home without you

Walk around it, change of pace

Maybe that's when we'll think straight

Don't know why you would want to stay

Ask you gently, but here I stay

Lookin' at the sidewalk

Searchin' in the asphalt

Drawin' out what we should conclude

Pushin', hopin' we cross

Countin' all the white blocks

Holdin' onto what we should lose

Stuck in place

I would leave, but I can't be at home without you

Change your face

I could sleep, but I can't sleep at home without you

Facing pavement is hard to break

Plastered in, but still you're miles away

Fresh-done asphalt, won't you stay?

(I'm stuck)
