We'reΒ Β as lonely as we let ourselves be -
tonight,
meet her in her cold car so you'll feel warm
again,
I take a white pill so I'll feel all right
again.
Unable to sleep
again.
Swallow her breath
again.
I'll swallow the pill
again.
"Hey"
again.
"I miss you"
again.

You will keep calling her to quell your insomnia and
I will keep taking the tablet with a cup of my pride
until I wipe the lonely from your lips and
you let me be your only.
