Cold hands and always the last to know.
Long drives and shadows that follow you home.
Too late to find a light on, the tv’s glow.
Dark hallways and a place that you shouldn’t go,
and so, you go.
Alcohol, alcohol.
Take your seats.
Hold your breath until the morning.
Bar the door.
It’s happening now.
I sleep on the floor, seeping into the floorboards,
up the walls, and into the ceiling.
I’m watching the house from every angle now.
I’m watching you sleep so tenderly.
A broken skylight,
a kicked-in door,
all signs that you were here.
A blackened eye.
You’re a big man.
You’re a big man.
You’re such a big man.
Thirty odd years and all I can do is grind my teeth at the memory of you.
A long long drive, longer than before.
Hallelujah, you never looked back.
I never look back.
Long drives and shadows that follow you home.
Too late to find a light on, the tv’s glow.
Dark hallways and a place that you shouldn’t go,
and so, you go.
Alcohol, alcohol.
Take your seats.
Hold your breath until the morning.
Bar the door.
It’s happening now.
I sleep on the floor, seeping into the floorboards,
up the walls, and into the ceiling.
I’m watching the house from every angle now.
I’m watching you sleep so tenderly.
A broken skylight,
a kicked-in door,
all signs that you were here.
A blackened eye.
You’re a big man.
You’re a big man.
You’re such a big man.
Thirty odd years and all I can do is grind my teeth at the memory of you.
A long long drive, longer than before.
Hallelujah, you never looked back.
I never look back.

This, this is the truth
I’ve checked all my facts
and I’ve got all the proof I need
I keep forgetting why I’m here,
I keep feeling I shouldn’t be
The looks I keep getting,
the talk in my ear keeps reminding me.
It reminds me how our friendship died,
how my presence here is a thorn in your side
I keep forgetting why I’m here, it’s because
I’m a petty guy who spends his time
fabricating useless lies
I wanna know
why you had to say the things you said,
the time you spent inside my head
I don’t mind
The truth is somewhere in between,
hurting you and killing me
You are resigned
with your shoulders shrugged, a sideways glance,
a nodded head, a non-response
It’s so unkind
The truth is somehow hidden
but still hurting you
It’s a lie
It’s my lovesong to you.
Incredible song.
