lyrics

I sit on this folding chair in this motel
Look up at the sky

A shiver is chasing its way up
Way up my spine

Well this desert is cold and it'll leave you spent and hang you up to dry
Hang you up to dry

You've got a mighty subtle way
Of bringing me down

Although you're a thousand miles away
From this podunk town

But like a stray dog for his supper
You just keep coming
You keep coming around

You keep coming around

I'd like to say that I've taken this space to reflect
On the time we've been apart
And how it's been spent

Ah but you know me
I won't let myself breath

Long enough to
Hear my own breathe

That old boy scout saying
Keeps winding its way
Through my mind

To take only memories
And leave only footsteps behind

But you weigh my pockets down,
Drag my feet

To take in a memory of you
Leaves me weak

And with a sharp pain in my side

How did it all get so mutually unkind?

I lay in my bed let the clock taunt me out of my sleep

Time is like water in this town
It make stick stick around but its quality simply won't keep

Time is like water
But love is like mud

It's a habit that hardens
And cakes in the sun

Comes off in flakes

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one

One by one
