Ghostess - Pick Up the Book lyrics

rate me

Verse:

The Midnight hour starts to fade

But yet I lie awake

Wondering why my brain's delayed

To notice soon that dawn will break

The only thing I dread today

As the minutes slip away

That my bare feet with have the chore

Of waking up to a cold floor

Chorus:

You try to make me stay

I'll have hopped a train

Before you notice that I've gone

My shoes rest on the floor but how long

Until I'm walking out that door and I'm travelling on

Verse:

Came home early yesterday

Forgot to set the clocks ahead

A foriegn car in the drive way

fire engine red

Several garments in a pile

Lie on the bedroom floor

And there was lipstick on the sheets

In a shade I never wore

(Chorus)

Bridge:

I want some thoughts I can call sane

When will I ever get them back?

It feels like years gone down the drain

From where we were, to where we're at

(Chorus)
