Open Letter

We are the quick results of sweet mistakes We are the ears attached to phone call traces Studying and taking notes And you steal it back and hope a poet’s words Will help you understand the way things are That’s life. We live and die That’s right, we live and die We just try to make it out to the open sea upon the perfect tide [Chorus] We’ve been dead for billions of years before we ever lived A comfort, a distraction, a fuck is all I have to give And I can’t say no, although I’m not trained to save you And I can’t say no. I swear I’ll never turn my back I swear I’ll never turn my back We are the city bus on downtown streets Two in the morning I will get you off your feet Wait at the sidewalk Watch you unlock your front door and stumble off to bed [Chorus] And I can’t say no, although I can’t promise to save you And if you slip under, I swear I always loved you back [Chorus]
