Take Me Home

So it goes I read that in a book that you gave me And so you went Like a stranger I just stood there waving We set it all Out on the table A feast for two Without any flavor You've made new friends They seem alright I guess We still hang out But it just feels like a test God I need a rest At your parties it's so hard to take my hand out my pockets I can still make you laugh as if I've any other talent These days it's hard to admit that I prefer a night with strangers Than to spin the same old stories and pretend it's not over Take me home Take me home These nights seem long And they're only getting longer That morning glow I remember being stronger Than this I can't wake up On the floor Anymore So here we are Smoking cigarettes at 4 in the morning The same damn place That we've been these past 6 years God this never was the plan But when you sit on the curb with the ringing in your ear It's hard not to submit, to waste away the years Every shotgun done in hatred, every Lonestar downed in spite Thinking over and over if I died right now that's fine When it gets easy to say 'I'm sorry I couldn't make it' And the shame it goes away to say that you were way too wasted Every night spent downtown is a night that's full of wonder If you ignore the voice inside your head screaming over and over Take me home
