Selfish Bones
Lyrics
I've been shedding skin,
I'll try to split the difference between who I am and who I've been,
If it makes you more comfortable.
I've been giving in,
I swear that I'll be back before the beat kicks in,
So you don't have to take the fall.
Tell me all about the coast.
Tell me all about the place that you love the most,
I could've seen it, I should've been there,
I just can't shake this out of my head.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be your getaway,
I'm sorry that we couldn't go far,
I'm sorry that I couldn't be the one to change the songs when you were driving that car.
If I had more than a pocket of change,
I'd ask you to take my last name,
I know I'm not much right now,
And I know, I've got selfish bones.
I thought that I could swim,
But I've been treading water since this year began,
And I've been here one before.
And I've been questioning if I've ever really been the best that I could have been,
I think I always leave you wanting more.
Tell me all about the west,
Tell me all about the place that you love the best,
I could've seen it, I should've been there,
I just can't shake this out of my head.
You flew into Hamburg,
We sat around in smoke,
I thought that night we'd go the same way too.
I flew in from Denver,
Saw you wipe a tear from your eye,
Some nights I thought I wouldn't make it out alive.
