Beating down the pavement we’ve walked this town blue
Leaving all our wishes in the soles of our shoes
We don’t say we’re sorry
But we won’t see this thing through
Moon was a sliver when we started this mess
We have filled it daily with the babiest steps
Maybe when you skip town
I’ll put this dream to rest
And losing my hairline, misplaced my halo
I’ve been playing ring toss on the wrong bedposts
Playing like I’m charming
So I don’t feel so damn old
Feet in the mirror, can’t keep eye contact
Wishing, pulling eyelashes, reciting facts
This would’ve never happened
If you kept it straight months back
And soon you’ll miss the good
Because nobody misses you
Because nobody kissed you
So nobody risked it like they should
Days drawn like envelopes, the lottery picks
Message in the postage, lick and stick
Fixing up the addresses
Of messages we mixed
We won’t always find these ways to compel
You will miss my sadness and I will miss your smell
Been buying up each other
Til there’s one lie left to sell
And soon you’ll miss the good
Because nobody misses you
Because nobody kissed you
So nobody risked it like they should
