On The Way Down

(album: The Answer Is Always Yes - 2023)

Put your hand upon my shoulder
While you look over the other
Waiting for a better offer
Waiting for someone to take your breath away

Used to put you in the shower
After blitzing happy hour
Making sure that you were breathing
And now I'm left for dead and you couldn't care less, no

I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no

Left me hanging till the dial tone
Such a non-committal no-show
Told me that you got a new phone
And I let you fake it 'cause I can't take it

Now I'm sucking in the big ones
While you go and make your own fun
Think it's cool you know the DJ
I'm scoping the exits so I can leg it

I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no

I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no

To what do I owe the pleasure
For all your time and attention
You said whatever the weather
So I went with you and I went with it

You left me out on the sidewalk
You knocked me round with your sweet talk
Another rung in the ladder
A greater height to come down from

I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no

I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no

I'll see you on the way down
Say you don't need me around
I'll see you on the way down
No, I don't need you around, no
Oh
No, I don't need you around, no
