Brunswick (New Recording 89) Lyrics

If I called your bluff, would you call this off?

Lend a shoulder to walk me back home just to let me back down

Does it feel good enough that I want you now?

Hold the smoke for a second too long just to choke it back out

So if you have to leave now

Let me out from your arms

No the neighbors won't mind it

Put me out on the sidewalk

But if you're still certain by this time next friday

The both of our knees bending inwards, alone

And I'm not too drunk to forget I'm still dreaming

I swear I'll be sure

On the drive back home take the interstate

Cut through Hartford, a land full-up heart in your passenger seat

All those billboard signs couldn't save us now

1-800s that answer to God never thought we should meet

And their voice on the phone now,

Were they calling you baby?

How could I hear them,

While you're looking at me

Relying on over-the-counter solutions,

Insomniacs falling asleep at the wheel

I hate being lonely

Store-brand melatonin dependency

Still, I hope you sleep soundly

I hope the imprint of hands on your shoulders stops weighing you down

No, don't think of me now

You know that I loved you

And I couldn't help it,

I never learned how

Oh I'll always love you

I don't think I can help it
