Draw A Gun

(album: just calling to tell you i'm ok - 2023)

It's getting kinda late now
When I get on a roll
I might try to call you
And if you're driving home
We could catch a movie
One about a girl
Something that's got music
That changes every moment
Like a flower in a footpath
Like a rainbow in a fountain
Like the stairs to your apartment
Kinda feeling like a mountain

But I keep climbing back in my head
And I'm finding things that I start to regret
Like I'm standing out in the corner across from the bar
Where we spent all our money just trying to find
Where the future lay
Where your car keys are
Whether I'm going over to yours

They tell me I'm a soldier
If I go it alone
But if I can't stop shaking
Then I can't draw a gun
And I can't draw a river
And I can't draw your smile
But I put pen to paper
And maybe that's my armor?

But I keep climbing back in my head
And I'm finding things that I'd like to forget
Like I'm standing out in the corner across from the bar
Where we spent all our money just trying to find
Where the future lay
Where your car keys are
Whether I'm going over to yours

It's getting kinda late now
When I get on a roll
I might try to call you
And if you're driving home
