sorry snowman - all wrong lyrics
he works his way through a pack of cigarettes
one a day until he’s got one left
and saves it for an evening or
a day he’ll feel he needs it
he’s got friends he won’t know after friday
wakes up all alone in a doorway
to someone’s quiet knocking
with crumpled napkins in his pockets
but he’s a stack of papers anyone can read right through
everything he’s made of is written on a page or two
with friends in every corner, you think he’d
k!ll to be a stranger but he’s not thinking
“how long until this starts feeling all wrong?”
she fell in love with an art school townie who
never moved out of carleton county
she saw him come home wasted and watched him
pass out in the driveway
she can’t sleep waiting for a call back
with rotten b+tterflies in her stomach
she waits another day
and waits another day
and she will try to make him love her and he will say he does
but he won’t take her out to dinner or hold her hand in public enough
to make her feel her time is not just wasted every day, and she says
“it’s been so long since anything felt this wrong”
she saw him hanging out in town last week. kissing the cashier after her shift at the king confectionary
she won’t need a reason to ignore his call. he will spew his reasons and she won’t care at all
because he’s a stack of papers and she had read them through. everything he’s made of is written on a page or two
he smokes his cigarette. the one that he’d been saving
and walks back down the avenue when the dial tone stops playing
