For Your Life to You

If some night 9 o’clock comes calling Like a killer like a stranger on the third floor Meet me in that spot by the all night coffee pot And we can talk about the war between you and more more only more What it feels like when shadows weigh down on you like prison bars In a dusk made darker by the rain And I will search for your silhouette And sing a song for your life to you For your life to you For your life to you This is a song for your life to you For your life to you For your life to you This is a song for your life to you Because if it’s not nine it will be some other time And believe me when I say it will come calling You won’t hear a thing not a word not a breath Just a feeling in your flesh Nobody can tell you anything about it For it’s your life and this is a song for your life to you And one day when you can you’ll sing it back to you Because you’ll realize that 9 o’clock came and went And barely meant a thing to you Does that make me free? If I got it for free If I still paid full price in my Fever dreams Does that make me free? If I got it for free The knot in my stomach Does that make me full? The ice in my glass cannot keep me cool Does that make me free? If I got it for free And most of the time We don’t even do it for fun But the first wink of night Just feels like a starting gun Does that make me free? I’m ready to quit But I don’t know what Should I quit trying Or should I quit the rush? Well something’s gotta break And I just hope it’s not me Does that make me free? Does that make me free? And if I could’ve known How to sing this song to another Maybe some daughter would still have her mother Does that make me free? Does that make me free?
