"rearview mirror blues" lyrics
I wear out the same old tapes of country music
Neural pathways, old shoes and waning patience
Catch your reflection in the window
I can't keep up with your changes
Belly warm cold night walk home from the bar
I'm gonna miss sliding round in your old car
I wanna watch the moss grow on the window
From the inside
In caves we dig out from each other's crumpled forms
Now leave me hollow, once gave shelters to your storms
Mouth it one more time, I wanna make a home out of you
Lie down in piled sunlit blankets on my floor
No more questions sped up blue pills and four roses
Finally my thoughts come slow, it's 9am right here
Cut up in barbed wire stubborn like a kid
Searching for psychic messages in brain rot television
Drunk as hell in the pale blue light
Always wanting more
So I wake up early come visit you at work
Lock our bikes together, voice wrapped in customer service
Text me bids for human understanding in 5 perfect words:
I fuckin' hate my job
Now it's "happy birthday!", friends fill the living room
Cognitive dissonance like anybody loves you
You are who you want to be
I just want to see you changing
Toss the ball for my dog down in the wet leaves
He's the sweetheart of the rodeo
He will always look the same and live forever in my heart:
Wagging, wet and happy
And I am afraid now of certain things I didn't used to be
My mom's hair is long and beautiful and white
Drop you at the airport, I love you, I'll see you soon
Just one more kiss goodbye
And you could go anywhere you need to go
I'll trace the edges of your highways
Like rivers where you flow
I'll mail you books for 30 days in a jail in New Hampshire
Ride my bike down to the show
And just wear out the same old tapes of country music
Circles round my backyard bad jokes and worse excuses
Cathing reflections in the rearview
You couldn't drag me there at gunpoint
Neural pathways, old shoes and waning patience
Catch your reflection in the window
I can't keep up with your changes
Belly warm cold night walk home from the bar
I'm gonna miss sliding round in your old car
I wanna watch the moss grow on the window
From the inside
In caves we dig out from each other's crumpled forms
Now leave me hollow, once gave shelters to your storms
Mouth it one more time, I wanna make a home out of you
Lie down in piled sunlit blankets on my floor
No more questions sped up blue pills and four roses
Finally my thoughts come slow, it's 9am right here
Cut up in barbed wire stubborn like a kid
Searching for psychic messages in brain rot television
Drunk as hell in the pale blue light
Always wanting more
So I wake up early come visit you at work
Lock our bikes together, voice wrapped in customer service
Text me bids for human understanding in 5 perfect words:
