Concrete

(album: Giant Sings The Blues - 2015)

Let's take a drive down Vermont
To where the city meets the third world
In a Ralph's parking lot
You can watch from your side of the car

We can hate everything that we see:
Desperation, and undying love;
A city block of misery
But they are no more miserable than me

We're so sick of being alone
But we have a hard time together sometimes
We're gonna both die alone
If you can't get happy

"If every relationship ends up cold
Like a fire that has burnt out in the night
I don't want one, I want them all
It's the only way I'll ever feel right."

So move on from our moment
There's more happy waiting up ahead
In the face of your old, new man
I'm pretty sure that he's French or something

I'll wander 'round the neighborhood at 3am
Looking for the names that we left in the concrete
Or was it our initials? With a heart as an outline?
Well they could be anybody's these days

"If every relationship ends up cold
Like a star that has burnt out in the sky
I don't want you. I want them all."

Did you think that I was bad news?
Did you think that I would hurt you?
Never thought that you were bad news
Never thought that you would hurt me too
