lyrics

Everybody's trying to reach me—
I'm picking up the phone,
‘hey—you’re breaking up’
Felt the brain disconnected from the body so bad
Nervous system on the fritz
To recover I'm gonna need you and those drugs I had back
Acting like it doesn't matter anyways
I want them back
I want ya back
I get low—
rumor has it that I'm coming back around
Did I let you down?

She's dancing around the apartment
not wasting anytime
she starts burning sage and lying to herself
to forget about
how i'm living now
Somewhere out in NY—not the city
The second city
they say it's up and coming—getting hip
But I don’t believe them

I see the light
I've waited a long, long time for this
I see you were right
I wanna hold you close like you're mine, all mine

We go out—
Walk in the park
skipping stones —
it appears we are lost
yellow house —
we made a little home

I do the dishes in the kitchen while she's outside making all the pretty flowers grow,
not afraid to let her tulips show

Waking up—
smells like rose
She's a peach—
she's all right and she knows that she'll always be
with or without me

I see the light
I've worried a long, long time for this
I see you were right
I could never hold you close like you're mine, all mine
