lyrics

My past is bigger than me
Presses me down in my sleep
I had enough for the bus

You had enough to love me

The pictures find me in the dark

I chase them out I bark

But I’ll never do you no harm

Cause I go weak in your arms


So pardon me please, I am green, I am weak, I just need someone next to my body

You’ve got some years on me

You’ve got the dignity

I’ll keep you company


If you were bad for me

You’d still stay in bed with me
Your anger sleeps neath your skin
My memories eat from within

But you have your medicine

And I have my medicine
She keeps her eyes off of me

Windowsill tabletop boxes I carry

I nod and you say that she doesn’t have sway
But someday It will mean something

Will me to walk out the door what’s the score

Because I did the worse thing before and once more

Well you have your own crimes I’m just one dick in line
Keep me foremost in mind I’ll be fine
Cause you don’t need me to be free

I’m walking through streets as the moon follows me
Yet here you are on my cellphone screen you are

Miles away and you are lonely

You are miles away and you are lovely

So pardon me please, I am green, I am weak

I just need someone next to my body

You’ve got some years on me

You’ve got the dignity

I’ll keep you company

You could be better to me

Still you will never leave

I know I'm wrong for you

I happy belong to you
