mobile sky watch me supine whistling

on the bank of the river

I stood beside myself

I stood beside myself

but I've forgotten where

no hellos hang up in this air, that's OK

everything I almost loved shines monochrome

leaves tied summers to the ground

all the wrong ones were smiling
Amaj7 E C#m

slow and mean across the floor

no I don't want to confront my home

everything's on loan

too close to what I've done wrong

every hour's part of a well-known monologue
