Lighter Side (Demo)
_____________________

short little breaths, the long drive home,
with the new man and the broken boy,
couple hundred steps, your lips stained red,
you said ‘another time’,
still wonder what that meant,
and just sit and spin in the background hum,
you’re my new friend at the four-way stop,
little broken home, little crooked knot,
let the words burn sitting in your mouth,

you know who you are,
the paper chains and the chemicals,
you know just where to start,
on the lighter side of my heavy heart.

short little breaths, the long drive home,
with the new man and the broken boy,
couple hundred steps, your lips stained red,
you said ‘another time’,
still wonder what that meant,
and just sit and spin in the background hum,
you’re my new friend at the four-way stop,
little broken home, little crooked knot,
let the words burn sitting in your mouth,

you know who you are,
the paper chains and the chemicals,
you know just where to start,
on the lighter side of my heavy heart.

hold on to my arms, as your laying me down,
lay me down,
didn’t know a dream could get this dark,
lot of open mouths,
lot of lost-and-founds,

you know who you are,
the paper chains and the chemicals,
you know just where to start,
on the lighter side of my heavy heart.
