The Daylight Between Us - The Wallflowers

The men were drinking wine the women they’d split

To smoke French cigarettes

Do a couple rails sit around and bitch

Lie down and get sick

In the morning there’s a line of ashes in the sink

And bruises on her lips

The candles that were lit had melted on the cake

As if they were over it

Now she’s looking for the dog and a last hit

For water and a first aid kit

But it used to be enough to taste it

But that’s bfore we wer always wasted

In the spring of ‘09 baby got straight

Was getting only half baked

I get a little high what difference does it make

If you do or you don’t relate

It’s true there is a light that comes on when I play

Your sweetheart the runaway

But I’m never more than fine and you’re not nearly brave

Enough for the war I’ll make

I feel like a soldier in this pit

With you a lion that won’t quit

But when I was in love I would make it

But I only want you now when I’m wasted
