Checkerboard Flies

Checkerboard flies on my door You never make sure I get in when you go Lent me no comfort, too much to take Told me your kind words were said by mistake The guardrails are low at the parking garage If I look down long enough, then will it stop Rounding the corner with nowhere to go Nothing to aim for and nothing to show And if I go, I go And if I'm alone, I'm alone Tell me, how does it get this far Going in circles, don't know where you are I thought that you said all the things that you meant But I don't need a savior, I just need a friend No, I don't need a savior, I just need a friend I could cave in, join the ghosts on the Trace Thought of it once, but it's so far away I find the humor in my fear to drive Too scared of highways, but rash with my life Do what you think is the best for you now And I'll do the best for me too, but somehow It cuts to black almost all of the time Unreliable narrator, toeing the line And if I go, I go And if I'm alone, I'm alone Tell me, how does it get this far Going in circles, don't know where you are I thought you said all the things that you meant But I don't need a savior, I just need a friend No, I don't need a savior, I just need a friend
