bathwater

I’ll leave in the morning and
I’ll wait under this awning
Feel sick to your story
I won’t say I was falling

Hold my breath while the phone rings
I can tell that you’re stalling
If somebody else picks it up
I won’t say that I’m calling for you
(For you)

I’ll wait by the back door
Hair up and your mask on
It ain’t much but it’s my thing
And it’s everything that I asked for

If I could watch it in fast forward
Then I’d notice these cracks forming
They settle into the glassware
They burrow into your bathwater

(Ooh, nobody but you)
(I’m [?] every shade of blue)

So I’ll see it through ‘till I’m completed
You’ve [?] me of my purpose
But I’ll always find another reason
To stick around your side of town

(Ooh, nobody but you)
I’ll [?]
([?] every shade of blue)
I could never tell [?] what the rules are
(Ooh, nobody but you)
I’m okay with sleeping on the futon
(I’m [?] every shade of blue)
You run away to the Yukon
