"The Comfort Of Someone In The Other Room" lyrics

With summer wind against my back
I turn my neck back towards the past
And kink a muscle which hasn't moved in years

If every cigarette you kissed
Were tangerines or licorice
Your mumbles in the morning would be clear

Oh who am I to be a heel
I question how she loves me still
Don't overthink the simple thing she brings

I send you off and wish you well
To ride on your sharp carousel
A most familiar song to me she sings

Halo won't you love me
When I'm gone I'm feeling ugly
When I'm halfway round the bend
On a bender
Loneliness is pretty
In a populated city
You promised that you'd stay
Then you left her

I've darkened down the brightest rooms
Spent fifty bucks on six tattoos
To tell you every story that I know

I've miserably meandered through
A tune that she was dancing to
How sad to be so comfortably alone

She's better off I'm better lost
I mumble bout the Pentecost
And curse the name of anyone who hears

I hunker down and buckle up
My life is short your time is up
Tell me where you see yourself in
Five years
Nowhere

Oh in bad times I'm drowning like a punchline
In a room full of neckties
I try
To be half alive
My good moods
I'm sweating in a wool suit
And the words that I sold you
All of you
Are getting harder now to relate
Easier to walk away

Halo won't you love me
When I'm gone or feeling ugly
When I'm halfway round the bend
On a bender
Loneliness is pretty
In a populated city
You promised that you'd stay
Then you left her
Then you left her
Mm, then you left her
