Goddamnit

Wide eyed.
Knee deep in surprise.
Just below your thighs the temperature drops 5 degrees.
Your stand-by flight has just arrived.
Tongue-tied bleeding from your eyes.
Even christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars
While you're counting sheep,
I'll count my lucky stars.
You were the last good thing i ever saw.
I lost it all
I lost it all
Burned out on 2 hours of shut-eye.
Eyes glazed at the thought of the next 8 hours.
Headwind cold rain to wake me.
You were the last good thing i ever saw.

Been on top of the world since about six months ago,
Marking the first time i laid eyes on you.
I lost all train of thought as i entered the room,
Saw what looked like really good food then i saw you and so did you.

I wanna wake up naked next to you,
Kissing the curve in your clavicle.
Kissing your clavicle.

Been on top of the world since about 1 week ago,
Marking a time when i was drunk enough to talk to you.
I lost all train of thought as your eyes met mine,
Told you i thought you were gorgeous, you gave me your phone number i gave you mine.
Before you left i said that you can bet i'll be bothering you soon
You said "no bother, please do"

I've called you twice
It's been a hellish fight to not think about you all the time
Sitting around waiting for your call

I wanna wake up naked next to you,
Kissing the curve in your clavicle.
Kissing your clavicle.

I wanna wake up naked next to you,
Kissing the curve in your clavicle.

I guess i'll always stop and see you
And we'll run into each other's lives
Yeah, i guess. although it tears me up inside.
Everytime it burns my eyes with tears.
But i know you're worth the pain.
I've so much more to gain by waiting for you.

You're going away but you're not going far
So if he decides to leave you alone and crying,
You know i'm still here, the faithful one,
Waiting for a message from kathlene
Then i'll come.. faster..
Than i ever thought that i could run..
Cause i...
I need you more than i ever thought that i could need someone
Someone someone someone else

I know i will always stop and see you
And we'll run into each other's fucked up lives
Yeah, i guess. although it tears me up inside.
Everytime it burns my eyes with tears.
But your waking up is the start of my lost cause.
And then you decide to leave me alone and crying.
But you know i'm still here, the faithful one,
Waiting for a message from kathlene
Then i'll come.. faster..
Than i ever thought that i could run..
Cause i...
I need you more than i ever thought that i could need someone
Someone someone someone else

It hasn't been that long
Since we drank to the sunset.. until it was gone
And down with it went our pain and fear
As we slowly broke contact more and more with every beer
And we passed out in each other's arms
Both admitting we'd never felt better
Never felt so warm
But awoke in each other's eyes
Without wearing a stitch of clothing
We were both deeply in disguise
And maybe i just set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
In my own special selfish way
And if i hadn't set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
Hell knows where your heart would be today
Maybe with me

It seems like it's been so long since we kissed through the darkness until it was dawn
Up with it came our pain and fear
That we'd already lost each other
We both knew that the end was near
Maybe i just set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
In my own special selfish way
And if i hadn't set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
Hell knows where your heart would be today
Maybe with me
Maybe with me
Maybe with me maybe with me maybe with me maybe with me

Choking on the thought of leaving,
Drinking to keep from sobbing
4pm, 4 dollar pints - sfo - the time and price.

With all my happiness aborted, the pa painfully starts boarding
I sink deep - 30 thousand feet into my window seat - electric chair
And i was drinking you goodbye
A heart floats in the bay
From sour home chicago
I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what i'll do
If i don't return to you.

Hopeful thoughts of soon returning,
Can't put out my stomach burning.
Plastic wings and plastic smiles
Unsalted peanuts stretch my miles.

Choking on the thought of leaving,
Drinking to keep from heaving
5pm 5 dollar pints - hellbound airlines - time and price.
And i was drinking you goodbye
A heart floats in the bay
From sour home chicago
I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what i'll do
If i don't return to you.

I was drinking you goodbye
A heart floats in the bay
From sour home chicago
I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what i'll do
If i don't return to you.

I'll come down to get you high
Or maybe sing you a lullabye
Sing you to sleep - a sleep you'll never wake from
Sing you to coma so to speak

When i fall down i'll fall apart
Trade in my bike for a shopping cart
And beg change from a world that needs some
Like i need someone
So where are you my little needle?
The stack's been burned away but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see
Three feet in front of me
Between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in

Lately i've been feeling dead inside
Like my guts have dried up and died
But every night i water them back to life
Yeah every night i water them back to life

When i fall down i'll fall apart
Trade in my bike for a shopping cart
And beg change from a world that needs some
I'm tired of sleeping alone
So where are you my little needle?
The stack's been burned away but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see
Three feet in front of me
Between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in
