lyrics

It's a lonely view on top the porch. It won't get better `til it gets worse because I hear it takes two. And the neon lights keep flickering, kind of like their tired of the bickering, through and through. Chatter from the bar downstairs, through the floor straight to my ears, I hear nothing new. I'm not sure what I'm down about, on my back, on your old couch but I love you. I love you. Empty bottles and empty mouths. A lifetime spent not knowing how to truly feel. Fallen oak leaves rustle `round. Louder than I've heard this town. Christ it's been years, since I've sang a song like this, since I've ever truly wished that this was not real. Either you get up or you lock down, at nights I swear it's so unsound without, without you here. Please don't leave me alone. Please believe me, we're not wrong. Oh please don't leave me at home. We're two wings, two wings to a dove.
