living room Lyrics

His couch a green velvet

Don't know how I missed it

Sat there in the silence

Watched the chamomile steep in

The glass that I bought him

He looked at me different

He blinked and I saw it

The smoke alarm fought it

His hair had been slept in

The glass had stopped steaming

And I wasn't finished

But he stood to start cleaning

I felt like a kid as the light inside dimmed

In his Turky Murphy's t-shirt

He stood there but I missed him

I missed him

Space that I needed

Light a match and you'll feel it

Why should I give a reason

Between my scheming and your leaving

So it's raining in August

He knew he was honest

Can't stand a performance

When it's you and me talking

Bruise my skin olive

It turns blue from this longing

I'm just full of excuses

Made for why he kept walking

The sidewalk turned dark gray

In the light I could see it

His fourth floor apartment

And the white of his ceiling

He turned the lights on

And played my favorite song

Through his Victrola speakers

As the world falls down

Leave her

Leave her

If it was water under the bridge

I would get to the other side

Without running low on oxygen

I'll hold my breath until the tide goes out

'Til you figure it out

Guess you got the best of this

It's not my lack of asking

Too soft to forget about it

Same mistakes called it a habit

Watchin' me relapsin'

Do you think about it

Do you think about it

If it was water under the bridge

I would get to the other side

Without running low on oxygen

I'll hold my breath until the tide goes out

'Til you figure it out

Guess you got the best of this

Walking home and it's too quiet

Lost my peace but I guess I'll find it

Check between living room velvet

The loose change I'll start collecting
