SkyBabyRecords: Music & Lyrics
Punchlines
individual calm with
a throw that waits for me,
the danger’s kind, and it is peaceful.
there’s a note you haven’t read,
and words you could’ve penned yourself,
without her help, but who can tell?
and i’m missing what was mine,
could you leave it all behind?
its home is here,
and i’ve tried to get you near.
there’s a place for you to stay,
in a bed i haven’t made,
am i the fool, who makes you laugh,
but always thinks too soon?
making up my eyes,
the glitter’s a good sign
and the black goes on.
why the hell do i look on confused?
it was so cool, years in me are running,
and the cuts are clean –
those dirty cuts are clean.
and i’m missing what was mine,
could you leave it all behind?
its home is here,
and i’ve tried to get you near.
there’s a place for you to stay,
in a bed i haven’t made,
am i the fool, who makes you laugh,
but always thinks too soon
of the next punchline?
i just keep coming up with punchlines.
and i’m missing what was mine,
could you leave it all behind?
its home is here,
and i’ve tried to get you near.
there’s a place for you to stay,
in a bed i haven’t made,
am i the fool, who makes you laugh,
but always thinks too soon?
