She said "you're going to be here forever, still doing all the same things you do"
And I couldn't say a word to contradict her, when I knew that every breath she took was true
I used to walk to your house in the summertime and let the car wash spray get me wet
I'd leave my shoes by the door and sit all day on your floor and say things I'd one day regret
But I'm not taking any trips or kissing any lips that might have been speaking nice
And I'm not paralyzed by any two eyes that might have been looking twice
Mine's the sleep of the just as my love turns to rust, dying on a kitchen floor
I'm just laughing through my teeth until the end of the week at some joke that isn't funny anymore
Last night I had a dream that I held you, on that same bed where we used to lie
And I was sure of hand and I loved you undamned of these knots I should never have untied
But I'm not standing aghast or living in the past, trying to rattle some teenage bones
I'm just acting discreet on some distant concrete, forgetting about my home
Mine's the sleep of the just as my love turns to rust, dying on a kitchen floor
I'm just laughing through my teeth until the end of the week at some joke that isn't funny anymore
I'm not taking any trips or kissing any lips that might have been speaking nice
And I'm not paralyzed by any two eyes that might have been looking twice
Mine's the sleep of the just as my love turns to rust, dying on a kitchen floor
I'm just laughing through my teeth until the end of the week at some joke that isn't funny anymore
at some joke that isn't funny anymore
