ghostess – pick up the book lyrics
verse:
the midnight hour starts to fade
but yet i lie awake
wondering why my brain’s delayed
to notice soon that dawn will break
the only thing i dread today
as the minutes slip away
that my bare feet with have the ch-r-
of waking up to a cold floor
chorus:
you try to make me stay
i’ll have hopped a train
before you notice that i’ve gone
my shoes rest on the floor but how long
until i’m walking out that door and i’m travelling on
verse:
came home early yesterday
forgot to set the clocks ahead
a foriegn car in the drive way
fire engine red
several garments in a pile
lie on the bedroom floor
and there was lipstick on the sheets
in a shade i never wore
(chorus)
bridge:
i want some thoughts i can call sane
when will i ever get them back?
it feels like years gone down the drain
from where we were, to where we’re at
(chorus)
