Glue Myself Shut

You used to be scared of the water You're safe by the side of your father Your sense of the world lay In your little home by the harbor You've always felt small in the city I think that last fall you were with me And all of your old clothes Are still in the hall of my building You never asked once No, you never asked why If I was putting things off If I was drinking too much of that red wine Oh, you'd wear yourself thin And accept every sin And if I glued myself shut You would find your way in We gambled our souls to the summer And rattled our bones to the thunder We watched every sunset Until we got sick of each other You've always said fall was your season That everyone's here for a reason I stare at your packed bags And ask what the hell you were meaning You never asked once No, you never asked why If I was putting things off If I was drinking too much of that red wine Oh, you'd wear yourself thin And accept every sin And if I glued myself shut You would find your way in It only feels real after raining And hearts only heal after breaking I stare at the tree line And noticed the leaves aren't changing And does the wind blow in Cape Elizabeth Constant and cold, how do you live with this? Love was a deadline Spend the rest of my life fuckin' missing it You never asked once No, you never asked why If I was putting things off If I was drinking too much of that red wine Oh, you'd wear yourself thin And accept every sin And if I glued myself shut You would find your way in
