Around Here

(album: Hard Times And White Lines - 2018)

The life of the party
The life of this house
What little light that I had left
Inside this heart of mine
Just went out

No "I love you"
And there was no "Goodbye"
She just grabbed the keys in silence, turned the engine
That was it, she was flying
Yeah she was flying

Now she's somewhere out there high on champagne glasses
Carrying on like she didn't do me wrong
I'm down here on the floor, walls collapsing
I can't even drink her memory gone
Ain't it hard to move on when you're down
To the last of last night's beer
It's the bottom of the bottle around here

I'm gonna get up, but girl it's gonna take time
I keep reaching up and reaching out
Loving her and hating her in my mind
Hell I can't decide

Now she's somewhere out there high on champagne glasses
Carrying on like she didn't do me wrong
I'm down here on the floor, walls collapsing
I can't even drink her memory gone
Ain't it hard to move on when you're down
To the last of last night's beer
It's the bottom of the bottle around here

She's somewhere out there high on champagne glasses
Dancing while the band plays all night long
I'm mad and drunk and still ain't sure what happened
Why she'd go and do a good man wrong
Ain't it hard to move on when you're down
To the last of last night's beer
It's the bottom of the bottle around here

She's somewhere out there high on champagne glasses
Dancing while the band plays cheating songs
I'm down here on the floor, walls collapsing
