It Ain't Me

(album: Covers Part II - 2017)

I had a dream
We were sipping whiskey neat
Highest floor, the Bowery
And I was high enough
Somewhere along the lines
We stopped seeing eye to eye
You were staying out all night
And I had enough

No, I don't wanna know
Where you been or where you're going
But I know I won't be home
And you'll be on your own

Who's gonna walk you to the dark side of the morning?
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
It ain't me...

The world around is crumbling
The girl I love is mumbling
My name into the night
I can hear her voice is stumbling
From vowel to consonant and vowel and so far forward
Until our lungs are empty and our hope is quartered

Our days are limited
But every moment that we share
Is an eternity of happiness
The wind blows through your hair

The memories of hard times
The memories of good
Are forgotten in a moment
I feel so misunderstood

Everybody watching that is why I wear a hood
The storm—it will be over soon
So I can take it down
I see you in my future,
I see you in my future,
If I keep saying this then maybe it will happen sooner

The storm makes me colder,
The world makes me older
Every single day I'm walking closer to a closure
Whether it be you, or the voices in my head,
Or the unforgiving feeling
That one day I will be dead

Who's gonna walk you to the dark side of the morning?
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
It ain't me...
