lyrics

The smell of sex and cigarettes always remind me of you
Hazy nights with no foresight fading into view
We'd jump the line, drunk and high, in a frenzied sort of cool
Make love against the walls of stickered bathroom stalls in downtown music venues

Goodbye (the hardest thing)
So long (is letting go)
Our love (of someone you)
Is gone (still want close)
I'm left (you're moving on)
To regret (I suppose)
I lost another friend

We would douse ourselves with back alley screw top wine
we swooped and soared like kites, but got twisted, intertwined
Our light burns half as long, but I know it's twice as bright
If loving you doesn't break me then leaving you just might

Got the feeling that this was fleeting, the good days all used up
Like a Sunday evening, slowly leaving, a door that's creaking shut
We tightened grip so we wouldn't slip as we dragged each other through the mud
Lashing out with scathing shouts, as if to spill our bad blood
