Some things keep me up at night like standing at a crowded bar ribcage kissing every inch of the counter a gin & tonic from falling apart, My pink fingers pressing neon lights, warming me from snowy weather, Like your pockets used to do, Wrist deep in smoke-stained leather Why can't I keep you off of my mind? I drink cities from where you are I picture: what if just you walked in here what if I hadn't gone so far? Some things keep me up at night Like what I said that September and now leaving drunk, all by myself just to feel like we're together.

Pockets.
Some things keep me up at night like standing at a crowded bar ribcage kissing every inch of the counter a gin & tonic from falling apart, My pink fingers pressing neon lights, warming me from snowy weather, Like your pockets used to do, Wrist deep in smoke-stained leather Why can't I keep you off of my mind? I drink cities from where you are I picture: what if just you walked in here what if I hadn't gone so far? Some things keep me up at night Like what I said that September and now leaving drunk, all by myself just to feel like we're together.
