Not a smoke in the pack, and the sky's turning black
And I'm trying to wash down this aching
So I drag off to bed with a prayer in my head
For one night to pass without shaking
And where is the road that you said we'd come to?
And where is the child my mother would hum to?
And when will the future stop showing the past?
I think I'll just turn out the light
Took a vow to be true, and now look at you
Chasing small girls with big shoes and punctured skin
Staring blank with fatigue, cause you're out of your league
Are you sure it's your heart that you're falling in?
And how far is heaven, and how long to get there?
And when did this pain cut so deep?
Will you brush back my hair so I know that you're there?
And hold me till I fall asleep?
And how many years can we blow out the candles and still not understand
That love, like an old piece of cloth from the attic
Just came apart in our hands
