lyrics

dreamed of thumbing the exits off 84
with webs of broken glass
and needles strewn on the floor
i guess we only jumped the median once
but it felt like an era
and i felt like a dunce

discovered tolstoy in rehab
and now he's your man
i tried to like him
i dont think that i can
i can't keep track of the names
but i keep track of the days
track every dose of every lithium haze

you were bad at keeping secrets
you were good at humming a tune
i guess nobody needs secrets
i guess i just need you

i hold a big fat torch to rekindle someday
you got a lighter out of gas but a car with a tank
i hold a big fat torch to rekindle someday
you got a lighter out of gas but a car with a tank

and i let my big fat torch fill with water and rain
you filled your lighter up with gas and now can't spark up a flame
and i let my big fat torch fill with water and rain
you filled your lighter up with gas and now can't spark up a flame

dreamed i was shot in the chest by yale off i-91
i begged you 'darling please just hand me the gun'
i can't keep track of the haze
my vision started to fade
you knew me back in all my lexapro days

you were bad at keeping secrets
you were good at humming a tune
i guess nobody needs secrets
i guess i just need you

i hold a big fat torch to rekindle someday
you got a lighter out of gas but a car with a tank
i hold a big fat torch to rekindle someday
you got a lighter out of gas but a car with a tank

and i let my big fat torch fill with water and rain
you filled your lighter up with gas and now can't spark up a flame
and i let my big fat torch fill with water and rain
you filled your lighter up with gas and now can't spark up a flame
