I like it better when my bed smells like you.

What can I say?
I smoke and I drink
And what can I do?
I want to wallow in you.

They're telling me to
let go of you and save myself
But what can I do?
I feel better when I'm with you.

This was inspired by Ani DiFranco's Grey.

I heard the bomb, but felt nothing.

I'm constantly amazed by where I've ended up in my life.
I never thought that dead babies would be the solution to a problem.

Not my problem. Not my problem. Not my problem.
But you're my problem. Drugs are a problem. Love is a problem.

I'm constantly amazed by how I become a fixture in a room.
I never thought that I would be dating a lifestyle, more than a man.

Not my life. Not my life. Not my life.
But you're in my life. And I think I'm in love with you.

Push and Shove

You whispered, "I don't want to lose you",
but she's feeling a little adrift these days.

It's the way you found each other, the way things are,
she's a half-dead lover, and you've always been cryptic.

From separate worlds of secrets and lies,
loose lips sink ships, and kisses can't fix everything.
