Standard (EADGBE)
I wasn't drunk enough to forget you last night
I tried real hard but then I called you twice
Thinkin' maybe baby if you heard my name
A tide would rise to put out this flame
As the band was playin' old Langzan
All new year cheer for last years crimes
I told my soul that I just won't hurt
A little white lie between the blood and dirt
She ain't comin' home
It ain't so hard to see
That everyone's got someone
But nobodies got me
She ain't comin' home
It ain't so hard to tell
Guess this is where you land
When love is where you fell
Got a foot of snow out in the drive
Sayin' give it up son why don't you stay inside
Gotta pair of your jeans on my bedroom floor
Sayin' don't bother there's always more
So here's to breakin' up in the Facebook age
With all the page right on the page
It's a desolate road and a hollow ground
To walk alone when you're so far down
There's always something left to stumble onto
A secret darkness unconfessed
The miracle of understanding
The tragedy of old regrets
The politics of love and war
All bullet holes and barricades
Almost only counts for something
In horseshoes, love, and hand grenades
I wanna climb up on that tower
Look down on the hearts below
Delicate and half devoured
Lost and looking for a home
Cause memories they turn to shadows
A part of you forever more
You'll throw yourself upon the gallows
For one moment free from keeping score
And when I'm an old man and my times all gone
She's an old lady playin' bridge till dawn
That long blonde hair has gone all white
Still be fightin' that same old fight
She ain't comin' home
It ain't so hard to see
That everyone's got someone
But nobodies got me
She ain't comin' home
It ain't so hard to tell
Guess this is where you land
When love is where you fell
Guess this is where you land
When love is where you fell
Guess this is where you land
When love is where you fell
