lyrics

This Book in Me

I’m telephoning from a pay phone
Like it’s 1985
It’s a number I remember
From when you were alive

It’s ringing into infinity
And I’m worried you’ll pick up
So I drop it like it’s hot and
I get into my truck

It’s the morning and it’s raining
And I’m feeling insane

I’ve been writing I’ve been drinking
Like the authors that we loved
It’s reductive I’m destructive
And I’m close to giving up

I went home to our town
To get some details straight
When I fled I think I said
I’m not long for this place

It’s the morning and it’s raining
And I’m feeling insane

Time changes everything
I’m tethered here by see through string

I think I’ve got a book in me
Ripe with possibility
I think that I am starting to believe
