lyrics

You're a long time gone like you're staring through a window
And you're stretching your arm towards another bruised ego
And your solo cup courage heightened your memory
You're reaching, I'm recalling when reason escaped me

Oh, it's killing me

A long time gone like your fever from the illness
That abandoned your emotions and left you all helpless
To find a little comfort in the bottom of a bathtub
It's narrow and it's shallow but you bet it was deep enough

Oh, it's killing me

You're a long time gone and I'm bandaging with stickers
I'm searching for some solace in the soles of her slippers
So I don't slip and fall for that same slick something
That caught you up within it and let you go swimming

Oh, it's killing me

I spend my weekends picking up styrofoam from the cemeteries
If I had to guess, I'd reckon it's the reckoning
But I don't have to guess if no one ever asks
And I'm speaking out the mouths of the people from my past anyway
