Keeper

(Album: Late Show - 2017)

I think this one's a keeper
He's not like the last one
We spend our days and nights up
On his velvet couches
He's a bit of a stoner
It keeps his attention
He still lives with his mother
And father and sister

He likes to take me for
A drive up downtown
Running away with me
We drink in the crowds
But then it all goes silent
A yell then a whisper
He blew it up with secrets
He pulled on the trigger
Oh oh oh

'Cause I can't say come over
And I can't say when I'm into you
All the words that you lay down
Are nothing but broken

Met at the Silver Dollar
Sipped sevens and sevens
This one's got me excited
He's playing he's winning
He's got another lover
He told me he said so
He said that I'm much better
You know I believed him

He liked to take me for
A walk up downtown
Running away with me
We smoke in the crowds
But then it all goes silent
A yell then a whisper
He said I'm too invested
He pulled on the trigger
Oh oh oh

'Cause I can't say come over
And I can't say when I'm into you
All the words that you lay down
Are nothing but broken
And I can't be in the moment
And I can't run through the streets to you
All the words that you lay down
Are nothing but broken

I think this one's a keeper
He's not like the last one
We spend our days and nights up
On his velvet couches
He's a bit of a stoner
It keeps his attention
He still lives with his mother
And father and sister
Oh oh oh

Cause I can't say come over
And I can't say when I'm into you
All the words that you lay down
Are nothing but broken
And I can't be in the moment
And I can't run through the streets to you
All the words that you lay down
Are nothing but broken
