Salt Flats

(Album: Pity Boy - 2019)

Finish it later
There's a lot on your plate
We've been driving around
We've been aimless for days
And I can't feel a thing
But it's better this way
When the water receded
It left salt in its place

It can't take it back
Take it back
It can't take it back
Take it back

You've got salt in your hair
I've got salt on my face
You rub salt in my wounds
Then you lick it away
How I wish that I knew
Any easier way
You could season your words
So you like how they taste

When you take it back
Take it back
When you take it back
Take it back

They say hurt people
Hurt people
Yes, I think I know the type
And I may not leave
'Til you're done with me
But I am not coming over tonight
And I guess that is something

And I try to stay focused
But it's not what they said
27 is 11
Just on different meds
And you're glued to the screen
Tryna guess how it ends
And I'll give you a hint
It won't hurt like it did

If you take it back (take it back)
Take it back (take it back)
If you take it back (take it back)
Take it back (take it back)

And they say hurt people
Hurt people
Yes, I've known it
All my life
And if I do not leave
'Cause it feels good to me
Then I am not gonna fix it tonight
But there's always tomorrow

Now I can't feel a thing
But it's better this way
When the water receded
It left salt in its place
And there's salt on your hands
You can't wash it away
But the salt flats are endless
If I could I would
Stay
