lyrics

The swelling went down by the morning
The ibuprofen holding her head together
Trying to stay hydrated like he told her
Last night. he’s at home, sleeping it off
Coming over operator because she just doesn’t get it
The medic has to work it all out
Trying to figure out why hasn’t he found it yet?
The years are getting disappointing

Can’t recognize herself in the mirror
The camera is all too noticeable
Need some sleep to just get rid of the bags
These endless nights have left their mark
Her circles are shrinking. and is it his fault?
Tries to stay social but there ain’t no one listening
She just can’t walk away, talk for a minute
She’s scared as it hits her. everything that she felt
Is gone for good.

Some years later going over in his head
The motion sickness, nausea’s overwhelming
Any way he cuts it, he’s still coming up empty
He should have let her know way back when
Swears his liver can’t serve much of a purpose
The lights on the road start streaking
Speed limits approaching. road signs harder to read
The miles adding up and it’s showing.
