Punchline

(album: Night Swim - 2015)

I miss you more than I have so far tonight
You weren't joking when you said you'd left nothing behind
Now I'm wandering around the flat and smoking where I like
It's never been as empty as it is tonight, and it's huge
Now I'm alone between its walls
Hard to believe we used to think that it was too small

I did what I thought I had to, to protect you
Did my best to keep my beasts at bay
Too late I realized that you would never pledge you whole hand in
But you delivered on my bluff and went straight back to him

Hard to believe
The joke was always on me
Your punchline was so low
You know just how to hit them all

I miss you more than I have so far tonight
I can't see in out cause you're fucking up my mind
It was far too hard to sleep, so I took myself outside
To screw you out on a summer's night
The odds were good but there's no leaving you behind
So I learned patience and placed on my bed some time

I did what I thought I had to, to protect you
Did my best to keep my beast at bay
Too late I realized that you would never pledge you whole hand in
But you delivered on my bluff and went straight back to him

Hard to believe
The joke was always on me
Your punchline was so low
You know just how to hit them all
You know just how to hit them all

Hard to believe
The joke was always on me
Your punchline was so low
You know just how to hit them all
