Bad Books - Texas lyrics

rate me

My love has gone away

Packed up her bags and then boarded that plane

And I guess that the time I figured you'd wait

Teary face, leaky breath, a bitter taste

Tripped out for 600 years

Who would have thought I'd make it last year?

In a way it makes sense that I died and reappeared

As that fly you've been swatting for years

Calm down and make him a drink

Pretty small town and the gossip repeats

She took off her clothes and sat on the bed next to me

My heart is pumping my blood, your hearts not beating at all

In a way it makes sense that it isn't, it just never was

Right now, a sinful exchange

Once done, unspeakable shame

And I should've known where I took the blame

The sweat and the shame fireless flame

Please god don't take him too

Take me, a replicant fool

Lost a gear and now I hardly move

He's a kid, I'm a fool

Please son, where is your faith?

Take off your bushels set fire to your pain

You will heal like a cut, let it scar let it scab, let it stain

In a while I promise you'll see

You're alive, not the blemish or burns that you keep on your feet

I am a towel that is soaked to the core, heavier now than it's gotten before

And something inside of me needs more and more, sooner than later never no more

Sooner than later, never no more
