Orange Juice

(album: Stick Season - 2022)

Honey, come over
The party's gone slower
And no one will tempt you
We know you got sober

There's orange juice in the kitchen
Bought for the children
It's yours if you want it
We're just glad you could visit

Feels like I've been ready for you to come home
For so long
That I didn't think to ask you where you'd gone
So why'd you go?

And you said
And you said

You said my heart has changed
And my soul has changed
And my heart and my heart

That my face has changed
And I haven't drank
In six months on the dot

See the graves as you pass through
From our crash back in 02'
Not one nick on your finger
You just asked me to hold you

But it made you a stranger
And filled you with anger
Now I'm third in the lineup
To your lord and your savior

Feels like I've been ready for you to come home
For so long
That I didn't think to ask you where you'd gone
So why'd you go?

And you said
And you said

You said my heart has changed
And my soul has changed
And my heart and my heart

That my life has changed
That this town had changed
And you had not

That the world had changed
And don't you find it strange
That you just went ahead and carried on?

And you know I'd say
The last time I drank
I was face down passed out there on your lawn

Are we all just crows to you now?
Are we all just pulling you down?
You didn't put those bones in the ground
You didn't put those bones in the ground

Honey, come over
The party's gone slower
And no one will tempt you
We know you got sober

There's orange juice in the kitchen
Bought for the children
It's yours if you want it
We're just glad you could visit
