lyrics

---

On the borderline,
Crossing Jersey in a broken ride,
She caught me with a paper smile

An easy anodyne,
But I was only listening half the time,
So certain that we’d have a while

Now I’m stuck on the way that she caught the light
Figured by now I could get it right
Shake my shit and learn to cope

But I thought I was dying again last night
Selfish the way I get so uptight,
Caught my breath just like before
(I falter on the safest ground)

---

Turning over,
Turning in the overflow,
Unwind the story:
She carried me home again.

Ain’t it easy,
Way we bend the ending so
Unkind to holy:
I stumble alone
Hope I find my way home again.

---

No glory hard to find:
‘Cross the room she’s singing’ “Lilac Wine”
Like nothing ever came before

I turn the other side,
Turn again, I pray I’m goin blind--
I cannot own what I ignored

But I couldn’t now even if I tried
Hear it again and again each time
Best days, I try to make the most

Run to the city again each night
Chasing a ghost to the rooftop height
Pretend that we can see the coast
(Coast won’t clear itself/she takes me down)

---

Turning over,
Turning in the overflow,
Unwind the story:
She carried me home again.

In the morning
Please just warn me ‘fore you go
Unwind me slowly:
I stumble alone
Till I find my way home again

---

Turning over,
Turning in the overflow

Keep me honest
Keep me long as you can hold
