All I have is cigarettes to offer you
All you have is everything, I should have left then
You kiss the pavement every afternoon when
You see me leaving with smoke on my breath
All I have left of pieces of what we had
Are tucked away with shameful images inside my head
All I have left of pieces of what we had
Are tucked away with the shameful images
All I have is a flannel shirt you gave to me
All you have of mine you can keep, I don’t want it back now
You kiss the pavement every afternoon when
You see her leave and you pray she comes back
Not unlike me, and
All I have left of pieces of what we had
Are tucked away with shameful images inside my head
All I have left of pieces of what we had
Are tucked away with the shameful images
And I’m not coming home

Spare Time

I see you’re out again, I hear that you’re doing fine
And I guess that’s okay, I guess I don’t mind
I was a fool back then, I was out of line
I told you I loved you because I felt alive and I don’t
I don’t know
My mother’s old brother’s guitar strings
Have finally broken, like all things do
Am I a piece of who you are now?
Do you carry me around?
Do you cast me out like I do to you?
Like I do to you
Maybe I should grow up
Maybe I should be fine
Or maybe I am make believe
Maybe I am the puppet strings
Maybe I am the spare time you spent between your sheets
Maybe I am the spare time you spent between your sheets
I am the spare time
And your time
And your time

Pull up your boyhood from the ground
With your luck we’ll squander blood
I’ll paint your cheeks with the shade of my lips
You’ll thank me for taking the time to be patient
With you, like you asked me to
If only you could be somebody, you could be anyone else
Do you still love me when I am not taking communion?
If only you could be somebody, you could be anyone else
Do you still love me when I am not taking communion?
For you, ‘cause you ask me to
For you, ‘cause you ask me to
My God, you look so ashamed
Is it something I said, is it the way that I am?
Did you make a mistake and can I get to Heaven?
My God, you look so ashamed
Is it something I said, is it just the way that I am?
Can you make mistakes?
And can I get to Heaven, or will they all throw me away
Can you make mistakes? Will they all throw me away?
If only you could be somebody, you could be anyone else
Would you still love me when I am not taking communion?

I think I wanted to be found
In the back of a van
In the outskirts of town;
Needle in hand, liquor in my mouth
So you’d worry more
I wanted to be safe
With someone who cared
With a frown on their face
You know how I worry about everything
That I can’t control
If I’m playing God
I have to be losing
The white flag is raised and it’s burning
It’s burning around me
The girl who cried wolf when there were only
Were only puppies
Who I am now, and
Who I wanted to be
They’re two separate beings entirely
If I’m playing God
I have to be losing
And if I’m playing God
I gotta be

I’ll leave the light on
The backdoor is unlocked
But you would come in
If there’s light inside, anyway
Wish I had given
Any attention
To the way that you studied
Every bit of my face
Cause it hurts
A misunderstanding?
No
It’s not a misunderstanding
Parts of me felt whole
Parts of me felt home
And now I’m a body
Parts of me felt whole
Parts of me felt home
And now I’m a body
