Hallway Carpet

from Cant but good luck by Make August Count

lyrics

I've been fascinated recently by the way the sun reflects
On all the colors of the leaves
And try as though I might to paint a perfect picture every time
I'm thwarted by my lack of expertise
You gave a signal of distress you called I came
Tried to finesse a change but I misread the breeze
You disappeared into the trees
I watched the autumn wind reverse all of your tears' trajectories

~oohs~

Front porch sojourn on a summer night I got a new twist on
Some old ideas I think you'll understand
I've practiced all my lines in the bathroom mirror swore I wouldn't fuck up
But my rhetoric is putty in your hands
Words words words words words it's all you hear, it's all you've ever heard
So I sip my liquid self-pity from its silver can
Until I spill my guts with the contents of my stomach
On the hallway carpet sometime round 3am

~oohs~

Now she's talking to him in that flirtatious tone
And she's touching his arm so I pull out my phone
Like I've got texts to send oh man but it's just a lock screen
So I put it back in my pocket try my hardest not to be seen
Now my best friends are worried and now I've caught their eye
I wish I could leave wish I weren't so high
Cause now I'm trippin balls and they tell me to relax
Like it's all in my head well that's just as bad

~ohs~
