You should’ve left me
At the Safeway
In the backseat
Like a dog at the window
Leave a crack
Let the air flow
When you dreamed of a good life,
Did you think I’d grow?
All of the waiting,
Just to hold me up against the wall
And tell me my name.
Back in the basement
You were pious, I was singing
For the light of a city
Floating high above the day
Now, it’s a chorus
In a dark house
While you’re waiting on the door
I’ve got pages
They’re all empty
Would you fill me in?
You know it’s a haven when I hold my tongue
Dream reoccurring when you open up
And amend my love
Heavy on the dial, you wake and it’s gone.
So long
You could’ve filled me
With the luck I was fearing
Every night, unavailing
But when you held me
It was easier
