lyrics

Empty beds and butterflies
We take the rain just like a sedative
Our mood begins to change
And all these faces that I’m feeling
Cast a stronger gaze
But I don’t mind, it’s just springtime

Underneath the water’s weight the petals they do fall
Cast upon the cold concrete, this sidewalk that I call
My routine of up and down is no routine at all
It don’t change; things ain’t the same

Underneath the blood and sweat our skin is raw
Still dig in every chance we get and we survived it all
Through whiskey, beer and cigarettes
And this thing we call law
Its ok, we’re all insane

So take me as I am or change me
Shave me, cut my hair
Dress me in a suit and tie or patchwork
I don’t care
This feeble fixation only causes me grey hair
You see through if you choose to

So now your desert bound and I’m still on the block
A rainy day to mourn a love, what we gained and lost
I missed my opportunity to sail out past the rocks
So interstate is where I’ll stay

I never meant to disappoint and I’m sorry if I have
Life and love confuses me and failure it’s a drag
But I still love you limb and soul
With every ounce I have
We will stay just not this way


Again I’m walking down the street
This sidewalk of my past
This man he offers me some food
I know that’s all he has
Give me shelter when the clouds roll in
But they will pass
When spring makes way for sunny days
