New Leaves

You spent the fall turning over new leaves One by one on your way to the bar everyday Like the lost, desperate dog that you are But you won't find what you need Following that leash Never the less You keep walking away from me. You spent the fall turning over new leaves You seemed more resolved than ever Dig your own grave Lie down, and wait For friends and family To get you back up on your feet So you can keep on walking. Well i've got legs of my own A clean shirt for the morning I have next months rent And a bar or two to burn down Well I'm tired of sleeping on the couch Like a guest in my own house Well I'm tired of lying to the cat About if or when i'll be back I'm tired of painting over the past You'll spend your whole fucking life walking
