sticky smiles

{intimate fingerpicked

acoustic guitar} {warm analog vinyl crackle} {hummmmm}

You saw

I'm crying

You walked back and forth the two inches to the balcony in

disbelief

You swore you didn't need any money

That got me devastated

{quiet weeping pedal steel} Why did you have to give up on

me

I wish you freedom where I set you free

No way for me to know where you're at

I hope I get over

your ghost {soaring warm

cello joins rhythm} I threw my head on my friend's shoulder

Hoping I'll dissolve into the blue of her blouse

Kind of hoping you'll notice me too

Tap me on the shoulder

I thought you did

{subtle brush snare groove} I keep making the same mistake

I keep digging my own grave

Where I'll lay alone

So it's familiar

{guitars swell into high-gain overdrive}

Why did you have to give up on me

I wish you freedom where I set you free

I hope I don't die with your soul lingering over me

{triumphant yet tragic

full band mix} When the road stops looking like your town...

I rest peacefully here

{guitars fade out into ambient delay trails} {gentle vinyl

crackle}
