lyrics

I wake up in Connecticut
The lines of a past smile
Tattooed on my cheeks
Above my lips, around my eyes
I can taste the morning in my teeth
Can see the usual lack of sleep
I fall victim to the tangibility

I drive for hours in Connecticut
White knuckling the wheel in stand-still traffic
Anxious and erratic
And you’re unfolding in Rhode Island
Reddening face and puffy eyelids
Realizing three years of happiness perceived
Were more like years of self-confinement

Now we are fading to nothing
You slip out like smoke out my car window
I’m left high, wrestling the undertow
And I am falling to pieces
Reading into each and every meaningless word

I wake up in Connecticut
In a cold room drenched in sweat
With a text from my mom saying to “pray about it”
But I don’t think that I’m a believer
I don’t think I’m a prayer or a kneeler
And even if I were
I’m sure he’s not too keen
On taking calls from me either.

Now we are fading to nothing
You slip out like smoke out my car window
I’m left high, wrestling the undertow
And I am falling to pieces
Reading into each and every meaningless word

I wake up in Connecticut,
Alone and hungover on a
Half-deflated air mattress
I can feel you outgrowing me

Now we are fading to nothing
You slip out like smoke out my car window
I’m left high, wrestling the undertow
And I am falling to pieces
Reading into each and every meaningless word
We are fading to nothing
You slip out like a whisper unheard
Over the roar of white water
And I am shattered and spineless
Woke up years older than when I closed my eyes
