lyrics

bus screams by
drives the wrong way in the rear-view
and I'm too tall
for this damn '05 Corolla

getting caught
in my own orbit again
falling back down
stitching up skin

sun goes down
you're wearing my coat on the rooftop
pouring out beer
wonder why God keeps on taking

flashing back
to studying Japanese syntax
putting in love
taking out trash

don't you feel the love
seeping in through the cracks
the floorboards aren't holding it back
life don't move too fast

don't you feel the love
trying to worm its way in
the wallpaper's floral patterns
smile with wrinkled turns

don't you feel the love
seeping in through the cracks
the floorboards aren't holding it back
life don't move too fast

don't you feel the love
trying to worm its way in
the wallpaper's floral patterns
smile with wrinkled turns

the morning comes
absolute white through the window
and its too cold
for this damn ice box apartment

getting caught
in my own orbit again
falling back down
stitching up skin
