Left On Read

Trying to think clearly but i’ve been up all night

I’ve been abusing everything I can find

I’ve been trying to reach you, but I just can’t seem to get through,

Now I know that we are nothing alike.

I don’t wanna be here, but i can’t afford to be near

you and I ain't what we used to be

It’s hard enough to be awake

And break under the sudden weight

I just don’t don’t want to feel anything

At all.

Thought I saw the shadow of a two headed dog

These drugs are playing tricks on my eyes

Steeped in alcohol and Roky Erickson

You always liked Detroit rock and older guys.

Looking through the window at traffic

flipping through pages of the lives that we inhabit

And I wanna runaway

I wanna fade into the fabric

to a time when we were magic

I’ll do anything to go back back back back home

The sun’s coming up over Central Park

You left me on read and I’m out of bars.

As time slips away,

I don’t want to face the cold, hard daylight

without you now.

You really don't know crazy til you’ve said goodbye

Barrel down the turnpike on the Jersey side.

this ain't no home of the brave

I’d betray my faith,

For just another minute here beside you

I can't stay here, I can’t stay, I can’t escape.

This videotape endlessly on replay

Just another lonely car out on the freeway

Your memory’s like a thousand pounds of dead weight

I can’t stay here, i can’t stay, I can’t escape

Turning circles into sorry’s that we never said

conversations, accusations, how’d it get so bad?

Car crashes on the screen inside of my head.

When I remember what we had

Turning circles into sorry’s that we never said

conversations, accusations, how’d it get so bad?

Car crashes on the screen inside of my head.

When I remember what we had

We had

When I remember what we had

We had
