Fingernail Moon Lyrics

There's a fingernail moon through a breaking of limbs in the blue August sky

I'm drunk in the backyard so I can get some thinking done

Maybe I started too soon, a letter wrote not to send gave a reason why

I don't mind being lonesome if I'm the only one

How are you holding out? I know you love the taste of those cigarettes

Just because I have one doesn't mean I'll start again

But if you have your doubts I'll put this one out and promise to quit

I will find a new addiction

What we choose to keep in a frame so strange

When a life left in boxes gathers dust

All these changes I've made feel like one big mistake

I'm leaving tonight like some kind of sacrifice

There's a broken glass jar that rolls in the back of your automobile

That rattling sound reminds me of my younger days

When there was nowhere too far

I slept in my car, I tried to live like Neil

Comes a time, I suppose, when we all just lose our way

But now it's the smell of fresh paint and the sound of the rain that bring me to tears

I keep looking back to a portrait of some other time

When I kept a loose grip, I felt a tug on my wrist and I pulled away

These days, those days are on my mind

When you're asleep at night, I'm awake rustling

Through these pages I've kept since June

I'll do my best to hide these demons you decided

Were too close for comfort and too involved in this fight

Were we so far out of reach

It seems to me to be such a waste

In times like these, to say we're incomplete

Oh, how can we end this

Oh, how can we end this

Oh, how can we end this right here?
