lyrics

We quit smoking on the same pack of cigarettes
The incandescent light faded out when the last match was
Lit in your driveway we left ashes in the hallway
As if we scattered someone important

And I'm not okay searching in the dark
For that old skin we shed when we were too young

In a cardboard box with no holes

If I find that bleating light
Inside a lightning bug out in the yard
I'll put it in the window as a guide
To help you arrive
Back to the place where you used to put your feet up
The place where we could finally be us

I'm getting desperate
(That's what my friends said)

You got lost on the drive home
You've never done that before
Said that God sent you on a search for the person you once were
Built yourself off a lie, played it off as a cry for help
You never did so well
No, you never did too well

And if you wanna shake hands with the devil
Give him my number I got something to sell
These are the last blueprints in my jacket pocket
These are the last maps of hell
I cut them up and folded them precisely
Hid them in our bedroom, you couldn't tell
You never did too well
We never did so well

If I find that bleating light
Inside a lightning bug out in the yard
I'll put it in the window as a guide
To help you arrive
Back to the place where you used to put your feet up
The place where we could finally be us
