i remember a rooftop making out downstairs the carpet screamed so loud i waited so long for that night then i just turned away and i know every street i know its side but i was lost unfound not right maybe there s something wrong inside now i ve got nowhere to go my answer s all that i ve got i m so sorry for so many things that i haven t said yet this is the waiting room i spend my whole life in they gave me a thousand hands so i could count my sins if i m lucky maybe i ll finish before the roof caves in i lost my life on the first try you found it miles down the line a swallowed face with three birds names it gets the taste back on my tongue you sucked the smoke out of my lungs and then we slept for days and days and days when we woke up my heart i choked up had to say i love you way too soon but right there on your couch you loved me too right there on your couch you loved me too nineteen and sober once or twice i caught some junkie s bad advice up to my eyes in others problems couldn t see i never solve them my only skin and bone and this and pills unknown i took my lousy shot at public recognition could never pull the trigger if i wasn t shaking i lost my life on the first try you found it miles down the line a swallowed face with three birds names it gets the taste back on my tongue you sucked the smoke out of my lungs and then we slept for days and days and days when we woke up my heart i choked up had to say i love you way too soon but right there on your couch you loved me too right there on your couch you loved me too
