lyrics

When you're around, I tend to kick myself to the curb
I pull up my hood, and I stare at my hands 'til they blur
I hang my head, and I root myself to the ground
This raincloud won't stop following me around

I need new guitar strings and a strong drink
I really need to get some sleep
But I stay up late with bike chains rattling
And retrace my steps along this street

But this city, it haunts me
I've dug graves for all our memories
You should have been there for the eulogy
You should have been there for the eulogy

[I didn't have any lyrics written for this part yet so I just sang lines from "Mix Tape" by Brand New. I'm sorry, I did not write these lyrics (but I really wish I had). Please don't sue me]

But now I try not to cover my head in bars and basements
I'm getting better about scraping my knees on the pavement
But I still can't seem to leave without a painful souvenir
The postcards give me paper cuts, but I still wish you were here
