For The Month - Mat Kerekes

I spent a year on my feet

I was running where you’d walk

I keep my eyes on the pavement

'cause I still don’t want to talk

I spent my money for the sake of hoping

That I wasn’t done

You spent a summer on your stomach

So I guess I owe you one

I got this feeling in my head

Like I’m staring at a ghost

I’ve been seeing different cities

I’ve been sleeping in my clothes

Went to that place in California

That you always wanted to go

And I thought that you would like it

Someday I will let you know

I’ve been wandering away

I’ve been wandering away

You’ve got your hair pulled back

And you’re leaving 'cause you don’t care

You’re always taking your time

And you do it because you can

You’re feeling lucky and you’re happy

'cause you finally found a man

He’s got a pocket full of money

When all I can do is hold your hand

I’ve been back for a month

I’ve been laying on the floor

I’ve been counting down the minutes

I’ve been wondering where you are

Well I thought I’d try and call you

'cause I’ve just been so bored

But I wouldn’t want to bother you

So I will hold my words

I’ve been wandering away

I’ve been wandering away
