Led Astray

(album: Everything is Tenuous - 2021)

I was just nodding off
Sky high and adrift
While you were just knocking off
A shit afternoon shift
I spent the whole goddamn day
In the worst seat of the goddamn van
Running it through my head
How many times can I do this again?

But, hey!
It won't always feel this way
But the world is one beautiful place
It won't always drag me away
But the world is one mess of a place

You were just clocking off
While I was just waking up
We're on different pages today
Sometimes things don't link up
You led the whole goddamn way
Scared to let go of your hand
In case I get lead astray
The world's a big place
And my heels won't dig in

But, hey!
It won't always feel this way
But the world is one beautiful place
It won't always drag me away
But the world is one mess of a place

There's something to be said
For loving something that's already dead
It's already, already dead

At least we know what's at stake
At least you know I'm a fake
At least you know I never thought much anyway
Never thought much anyway
