The Lawrence Arms - Chapter 13: The Hero Appears

Текст песни

the well went dry
the blood thinned out
i scrapped through
a thousand layers
of paint-like years
the secret’s in conjested grins
i’m trying to find places to breathe now
and if this were a book
i’d call this song the final chapter
and if you read it you’d be laughin'
if it could end right now
the last lines would be my body jolted in and out of stolen soundwaves
the world expands or shrinks
on any given monday
tuesday evening dyes a room blue
friday’s window has it’s own view
and if this were a book
i’d call this song the final chapter
and if you read it you’d be laughin'
if it could end right now
the last lines would be good friend
i loved you
one life to show her
the answers in your ear
she lights her streaming by on stiff necks
connected prayers used to sign off things
keep on counting them
maybe hold your breath
i’m trying to exhale you softly
don’t be so vein
i’m not impressed in past-tense
i don’t do impressions
the blood has dried
(good friend, i loved you)
now i can wash my hands with tears you cried
(one life to show her)
if you could frame this feeling
(good friend, i loved you)
at night it would whisper to me good friend
i loved you
one life to show her
the answers in your ear
