"New Leaves" lyrics

You spent the fall turning over new leaves
One by one on your way to the bar every day
Like the lost desperate dog that you are
But you won't find what you need following that leash
Nevertheless you keep walking away from me

You spent the fall turning over new leaves
You seemed more resolved than ever to dig your own grave
Lie down and wait
For friends and family to get you back up on your feet
So you can keep on walking
Well I've got legs of my own
A clean shirt for the morning
My half of next month's rent and a bar or two to burn down

I'm tired of sleeping on the couch like a guest in my own house
I'm tired of lying to the cat about if or when you'll be back
I'm tired of you painting over the past

You'll spend your whole fucking life walking
