about

acoustic

lyrics

She was walking down the stairs
I was working my shift
Breaking up the lovers in the bathroom stall
Making a wage only acceptable for lawmakers and politicians

Faking a sickness I snuck out the backroom late
But early for drinking
Airport bars seem a bit off
When you’re not quite right and you don’t quite drink

That’s when I saw her sipping whiskey
Holding back the shots she took me
By surprise, I heard a man once say
Without my phone I’d be real lonely
So I checked my phone

For a second I was watching myself
From the eyes of a sullen stranger
And suddenly I was naked and cold
On a bar stool sucking on a seed from a lemon wedge

That’s when I saw her wipe her mouth and
Hold her glass like a newborn child
Eyes deep in film like memory
I forgot the last movie I’d seen
I think it was Fargo

Goddamn if we can fly
And heaven help us if I sing
I never thought I’d see a girl look so sad
I never though I’d change my mind

Putting on her jacket, she stood up
And left her cash so flat and plane
Pressed between her hands together
Like it was a sin not to be clean

Bent over to grab her bag
I watched it slip right out her pocket
Picked it up my lips managed to ask
When do you come back from Chicago
