lyrics

I could go away for days
I bet you wouldn't notice
I'm sure I never cross your mind
My heart is skipping beats
My liver's leaking enzymes
I'm struggling with words
But more so when to use them
And if this weather never clears
I'll be the first to lose them

Please ease my mind
Let me know that you're not mine
And you're happy there at home
Like a hostage with Stockholm Syndrome

And the sound of your voice
On a tape recorder
It falls like snowflakes on my ears
So cold but beautiful
It eases all my fears
Doctors, they scare me half to death
I'm holding on to precious breath
Sirens screaming down the street
Remind me that I'm lucky
Yeah, I'm lucky

I'm not sorry
And I take the blame
I always knew it would end up this way
But part of me
Is still holding on
But my sensibilities are dragging me along

If love is a crime
I've already done my time
But old habits never change
And those resolutions always seem to break
