Lyrics

Missed my exit sign again
I kept driving just to see where I'd end
Streetlights flicker like they're keeping score
I used to care, now I don't
Found your sweater in my trunk last week
It still smells like winter and shitty weed
I held it like it still might breathe then left it out on someone else's street
I tried to feel alive by staying out all night
Kissing strangers and pretending it was fine
The rush wore off like a pill too light
I came home every night
Everything's not right, everything's not right
How do you get by?
I watched the lights die in a Walgreens parking lot
Sat in my car while the world kept passing by
Kept the engine running just to hear a sound
Stared at my hands like they might help me out
Your voicemail's still in my deleted bin
I haven't played it but I know how it ends
I still flinch when I still hear your voice
I still check the door like you might walk in
I tried to feel alive by staying out all night
Kissing strangers and pretending it was fine
The rush wore off like a pill too light
I came home every night
Everything's not right, everything's not right
How do you get by?
Some nights I think I'm healing
Some nights I hope I'm not
There's comfort in the ache
In knowing what I've lost
Some nights I think I'm healing
Some nights I hope I'm not
There's comfort in the ache
In knowing what I've lost
I tried to feel alive by staying out all night
Kissing strangers and pretending it was fine
