Walking

[Verse 1]

I like walking 'cause I don't need a reason

Autumns bald branches tangle upward reaching

The leaves are meeting, the shadows they've been casting

Candy-colored houses look like pockets sagging

[Verse 2]

A few months back, bricks were burning, they'd stay warm into the evening

Drag our hands along them, stop to hold them

But now it's just raining, street's like oil paint

Rattle autumn windows alone

[Verse 3]

My money's never mine, I'm working for every borrow

It's been so many times I stopped saying sorry

My mattress is sheetless, but I've been sleeping

Follow the smell of poultry from the bridge to Port Street

[Verse 4]

When you did the dishes, I put my hands above your hips

Put kisses on your shoulders like replacements for your burdens

You'd wrap your legs around me, together we were shaking

Repeatin' our names in those stuttered breaths escapin'

[Verse 5]

Red jacket and I saw you, you said I smelled like rubber

Said to myself, "I might always love her"

Your eyes are wells when they widen, and I've swam inside them

And I love you because I cannot hide behind them

[Verse 6]

And I like walking 'cause I don't need a reason

But I began to try and find 'em to counter a feelin'

Never is the hardest kind of forever

So I stood between the dead ends of either

Just tried both to please 'em, from green to golden season

The hearts of fruit are hard, though they're sweet

And I like walkin' 'cause I don't need a reason

I don't need a reason

I don't need a reason

I don't need a reason

I don't need a reason
