The Hold Steady - The Only Thing lyrics

rate me

Once you were close

I knew that you would leave

For a while I couldn't breathe

I couldn't even breathe

Sure she's still with you,

But first she was with me.

What tangled webs we weave!

She said some things I don't believe

Sleeping at a storage space by the airport

I think she talks about T.V.

I think that sutures us together

It's the thing that most matters at the end of the night

Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight

Flying all around like a fist in a fight

Tired of always feeling frustrated

This town was so much fun

When there weren't so much police

We didn't have to watch our speed

First she's down in Texas

Then she went back to Tennessee

What tangled webs we weave

She said some things I don't believe

Sleeping at a storage space by the airport

I think she talks about is T.V.

The only thing that sutures us together

All these dreams

I start to see through my dreams

In my dreams

And the thing that most matters at the end of the night

Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight

Floating all around like a nurse in the night

Tired of always feeling frustrated

She's been senseless

She's been sad

Got bad around March or April when I thought it got better

She's been wasted, she's been honest

She's got a necklace, it looks pretty expensive

I'd like to know where she got it

Sure she's still with you

But first she was with me

Man, I've been trying to get in touch with her

Last night her teeth were in my dreams

She's sleeping at a storage space by the airport

One thing she talks about is T.V.

The only thing that sutures us together

Are these dreams

Last night her teeth were in my dreams
