"Apartment Limbo"

about you about me

the closest thing so far
cold coffee and empty pillow cases
another bored and weakened soul
wearing the shoes of a ghost

playing old records over again
this year has become a decade
trying to remember a friend
a heartbeat counting backwards

whatever you want me to see
lies underneath your skin


yours to forget yours to change

a part of you in every beat
busted neon signs over locked doors
this unstable state we’re in
stay with me ‘til we get through july

cheap lyrics made for radio
joni made her baby cry too
on the floor out of cigarettes
a crowded road through your veil

no such thing as falling gently
if only rails ran through this town
