"Roadkill" lyrics

"Roadkill"

I said a prayer for all the roadkill we passed on the way to Chicago
Biting your nails sore, I still know you too well
Like I wish that I knew myself

What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do when they find out I'm not worth it?
Was I ever enough?
I was never enough to make it stick with you

I sat in silence, trying
To push you out like a bad-tempered Girl Scout
Idle and static as the computer screen when I'm reaching, but I'm still me

Was I ever enough?
Was I ever enough to keep making this shit up?
I've been following up
I keep following up, but I'm still floating here

I've had enough of floating around
I've never been this far off of the ground
I've had enough of floating around
I've never been this far off of the ground

The world looks different now
I've got glasses on, and the temperature's come down
Tenderness devastates me
I tried checking out, now I'm trying to face myself

And I keep looking around
I keep looking around for somewhere else to focus
Was I ever enough? I was never enough to be the light for you

I've had enough of floating around
I've never been this far off of the ground
I've had enough of floating around
Used to be so quiet before you came around
And I'm not buying if it came from your mouth
I've had enough of floating around
Used to be so quiet before you came around

Used to be so quiet before you came around
