Absentee

(album: Resignation Day - 2008)

Daylight in the east over Thunder Bay
You laugh like you're crazy
Wading through a drowsy communique
As I blow smoke off the second floor
Scribble what you do, erasing what you'll quit
Since you don't leave the house, I'm it
You're a jigsaw puzzle but none of the pieces fit

The Fuller House is a place to hide when traffic gets backed up outside
Just close the blinds before they break your heart in two
We block out the sun 'cause it shows too much
There's bottles we've still never touched
Nothing beats having nothing else to do

Talking to the trees, remember what I said "you're kind of amazing"
And I still got your voice buzzing in my head
As I make the climb up Dorseto Hill
Up a sleeping street and into 303
Want more of you rubbed off on me
So for the summer months I'll just get marked absentee
