Off The Wagon - Bad Astronaut

The ring like a stain in the wood

A drink from years ago I’m sure

A black and white on the wall from years ago when we were good

Somewhere

This house is a pain station

Awaiting blueprints for relief

The party’s finally over

And everyone else had to leave

It binds you, reminds me

Pick up the grocery for your head

Take this invitation

Please don’t waste another day

Hold my hands above my head

This ride is misery

Between the bars you’re clinging to a world of cold embrace

I’m still here to remind you

The world hasn’t changed

You’re still alone

«No more pretending for him»

A hopeless voice cracks on the phone

It’s deafening, reminds me pick up the passport for your trip

Take this one

It’s leaving

It’s the last bound for repair

I’ll be here relieving all your loves and all your cares

If there were words to give you hope

If you would treasure all you have

They’d believe in you my friend

So long, so long

I’ll keep the gold
