Kevin Devine - Longer That I'm Out HereLyrics

The longer that I'm out here the better you sound You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found And I'm chasing after you steadily losing ground I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down Have you ever? No never never I found that hard to believe Let's burn the furniture To see how angry The fire can make me And you say that there's someone That you need to reconnect with Some scarecrow from highschool That you loved and never slept with A baby with a pipedream Playing hopscotch on your bandages And I'm singing all these songs While I sleep on your couch I'm coughing up a lung But I'm covering my mouth And I paint you on the wall Yellow, red, green, and brown I miss you all the time But I'm blocking it out Are you better? No never never What does that say about me? Now let's break the smoke alarm To see how scared Locked windows can make me You say there's a stranger Staring sideways in a deep freeze A loner draped in ivy Playing slumlord in his city dream A faker with an art form Pulling magic tricks On the weak girls up his sleeve And I'm choking right along With the words in my throat I'm falling back in love With the letter you wrote And I think that I was wrong But I guess I don't know I figured that'll I wait Until you tell me so The longer that I'm out here The better you sound You're scrunching up your face In this picture I found And I'm chasing after you Steadily losing ground I miss you all the time But I'm blocking it out And the longer that I'm out here The longer that I'm out here The longer that I'm out here The longer that I'm out here The better you sound
