Waterfront

M Train to Central Ave

Effacing tears my first night out

She ran upstairs to smoke, sat on the ledge

And watched the sunrise off the rooftops of Bushwick

To my tin cup at a paved down park

Begging her for scraps as they rot

I'll fake it till I'm someone you want

I'll fake it till you stop saying you were never in love

Guess I'll pack my bag

My only one

The one with holes and headphones falling out the bottom

She said there's no

Reason to rush

But why would I ever stay for just anyone?

So I spoke to my friend back home

20 drinks she wore like an award

He said I always put myself in front everyone else

And it cut me down to the god damn bone

Like when I lie awake at night

Stare at my fear of death in the eye

I've never won that fight

And I don't know what else to try

Guess I'll pack my bag

My only one

The one with holes and headphones falling out the bottom

She said there's no

Reason to rush

But when have I ever stayed for anyone?

Yeah I think I'll go

To the waterfront

And search for answers until I find a drum

And I'll sing my song

Till my lung's undone

And maybe by then I'll finally have a hunch
