Early morning sidewalk sticky like blood

Caroline's cat hissed when I woke up

Slipping half the sugar dish into my cup

Shaking out my fists 'til they loosen up

Nick Drake singing in the present tense

Got kind worried 'cause the lyrics started making sense

Every browning leaf is an electric shock

And every queued song is a gun cocked

And there's an excess energy curdling sleep

And I can't drive when it bites into my feet

Yeah my arm's still numb where you didn't sleep

My shouldеr still aches where you didn't lеan

Fall is tugging on my nerves like a sweater sleeve

A slipped stitch every time I wish I didn't leave

Does your head still hurt when you think of me

Yeah my head still hurts when I think of me

Creep out of my house on tiptoe

Don't wanna go anywhere you might go

Sneak around the city scared you'll pop out

When did every coffeeshop become a haunted house

Every other person is a papercut and

Every other lover draws a little blood

But it takes my mind off you

No one ever takes my mind off you

I know I never wrote about us when we were in love

Guess I was holding in my breath until the sun was up

Didn't think I'd be alone now to see it come

Or think I'd leave the tunnel with a zero sum

Oh how I wish that god had given us a normal one

And he'd stuck around to account for what he'd done

Yeah you still feel realer now than anyone

I'm still peeling after sleeping in your sun

Checking every memory for a freezer burn

Tossing out the ones that make my stomach turn

Study all our dates to see if we'll get old

I didn't save enough of you to get me through the cold
