bitters on the side

lyrics

It doesn’t get easier when you squeeze in one more week
Defined you when we met and I can’t edit without a drink
Forgetting vocals on the track is sometimes sweet
Bitters on the side
A dish for you and me.

In Santa Monica I’m a stranger and aloof
Except in a past life there’s sand lodged in my shoes
I really did grow tired every time I pushed snooze
The dreams ubiquitous
The notebooks lacking news.

There’s no dichotomy my brain can’t gnash apart
Like the thousand plus miles between you and my heart
There’s a life somewhere people never start
There’s no reset button
But there are spare parts.

I slip in deeper everytime you’re on the prowl
And new friends don’t need SparkNotes on me now
But it seems what I’m still best at
Is piecing words most piercing
When I know you’ll be hearing me out
Hear me out.

Missing people is odd from this view
I don’t want to climb back down cause this tree is brand new
This sapling structure is as strong as super glue
Industry makes a noise, the sobbing showers stew.

It’s permissible that you’d be so confused
But I can’t reciprocate nebulous love tunes
In here, it’s crystal clear, and I know all the words
So if you’re mumbling you can leave without a word.
