softer spots Lyrics

You called shotgun as i listened to you both

Roll down the cracked windows

And smoke out your broken hearts

Shaking your fists in the air at the parks board

And second hand words of city despair

Were filling up the car

I watched the urban landscapes

Turn back into the land

And left the shredded bits of my heart break

Buried in the winter sand

And i realized how our boundaries do protect our softer spots

We went our separate ways, but we never left each other's thoughts

Now i'm looking back at everything we asked for as my legs cross this overpass

My fingers lock themselves to the fence looking out towards the empty tracks

I shout out your name cause of this chronic pain that your kisses would attack

That chosen name, your one true name, let their echoes summon you back!

Well they still do nightly karaoke and i belt out your go-to song

To the vast ocean of voices cheering me the fuck on

You used to say that it's a different world inside that dive bar,

That every space is a reflection of the ways we group the stars

Well i'm still stuck here in this aching body trying to figure out

What these threaded moments and my fleeting songs are all about

Can't unlock my fingers or get my legs to uncross

And Hope teases me every fucken time that i get lost

As i refuse to bus and choose to wobble through the alleys where i'm sinking

And under my deepest shallow breath i repeatedly wish for us all to stop hurting
