Lightyears (I Don't Do That Anymore) (demo) Lyrics

She grabbed me on the rooftop and led me to the edge

Asked me why I had stopped painting her image

I came up with excuses. All of them are bullshit.

But, the truth is

I don't do that anymore

I went home to see the family, oh what a nice surprise

Cousins green with envy I made it out alive

Asked about my writing, "a new one on the way?"

I shrugged and said the same thing I always tend to say

I don't do that anymore

Delinquents haunt at night, egging cars from the overpass

scattering their condoms and candy bar wrappers

My Brother said, "remember when we used to be stupid?"

He likes to speak as though he doesn't still go and do it

But I dont do that anymore

I grabbed her on the sofa and kissed her on the mouth

We shiver til we crumble, the fires going out

Playing post-coital catch-up we talk about the days

When we held onto the parks rusty swing set chains 

But we don't do that anymore

Brown and purple arcs in the lights of the station

the moon since has parked between the past and the present

Underneath its glow, I turned to her and softly say

Our childish brightness is lightyears away (x5)

Like some kind of benediction, I'd think of the end

I would practice death rattles with all of my friends

But lately I'm turning my nerves to new thread

Looking at my reflection and proudly it says,

"I won't do that anymore."

No, I wont do that anymore

I cant do that anymore

So I won't do that anymore"
