You Would Be Home Now

[far_flung_tonic]

let's be honest now and
hold our ankles like good girl good girl goodnight
i haven't had a goodmorning in so long i get tired in the afternoon
and think of talking to you just a little
nod in my direction to dare the day, to push my veins up and out I
only make it as far as the gym these days
my muscles will never forgive me for the things i have done but now i know:
i can hold you down

some day (I know)
you will figure this all out and the
years will start adding in your head and
your spine will go soft and those hips will start to burn
oh that is the fire i set behind your back
each morning you wake without me i light matches and lay them close to your wandering eye
one of these days you will wake up blind (I mean)
One Of These Days You Will Wake Up Without Me.
