lily talmers - this one's on me lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it did glide in like a sunbeam
on a thursday afternoon
so i nursed it like a sick kid
it just looked so much like you

[verse 2]
feel the stiff light, wish it goodbye
like a passing tractor beam
deep october, she’s a dear old friend
and a tightly woven seam

[verse 3]
between the daylight
and the sharp night of the heavy hearkening
it’s there i greet you as a lonely child
whispering, “this one’s on me”

[verse 4]
we grew up there, in the thin air
of the heavy slated sky
endless winter, we could nursе her
we could cure hеr if we tried

[verse 5]
are you listening? have you fooled me?
memories like an elegy
why is something trying to push me
to admit this one’s on me?
[verse 6]
is my silence just a violent thing?
do i house a crooked mind?
happy people, try to be like them
robed in mystery and kindness

[verse 7]
skim the surface
let yourself sink back to innocent belief
it’s there you’ll find me, i’ll be smiling
my old friend, this one’s on me
