guess I
sense two felt bumps in the
tar No cell But hell, you jump the
bar so well Parted your partners veil and dipped I'm New York harbor Tale of a
sail, ripped sorta Stuck on purpose for tha love of birthplace But would have carried you home inside of my teeth anyday Turns out I
wasn't cast in the
master plan anyway He holds no grudge, holds his tongue, wild Same one she used to hold in both smiles [?] instinctual last shout if it killed me So you can ride up in the
sun city guilt-free One year passed, the
table is wobbling and your hollering back Sippin the
fits you skipped when shit cracks They never missed it Not a
long haul, bullshit, kids kicked into the
same Shoebox with the
flicks and lipstick I'll love you forever, cuz you know me better For the
record, that one time I
would've married you in a
second But kill the
rekindling dreams and navigate the
friendship Or else by the
time the
stress wears out we'll both be dead and friendless
