cant sleep

Nov 05, 2006 23:34

The end result of so many meetings
At late night dinners with no one eating
We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee
Count the tiles upon the ceiling
Skip this pretense and cut straight to dying
Don't beg me to keep your eyes from crying
You said so much without ever parting your lips

It's past 3 am and I'm still far from sleep
This is a habit that I can't break
You're my only company
I'm skipping stones down a south suburban street

Street lights flicker like this match in my hand
Begging to strike
And I keep repeating, but this payphone tele stopped recieving
Flat out of change now I'm sure you won't accept the charges
It's all the same cause by the morning I'll be halfway to Colorado
Or some place like that
