lyrics

I ask for forgiveness
For the lied that I never told
For the momentary weakness
For the truths that I cannot hold
It ain't fair that I love you
That I stumbled into
This big can of worms
And that you left me astounded
Like a B Movie takes a really weird turn

And it's too late
To mull it over
It's too much
To watch you walk away again
With your back to the western sun

The blind hope that I run on
Is a game that I'm playing to pass the time
With the white knuckles and warnings
In the form of faded and hand printed signs
And I hope that you'll miss me
That my voice is a memory that you cannot lose
And I promise you nothing

And I wish
You would mull this over
It's too much
To watch you walk away again
With your back to the western sun

Also dumpsters. Jeff likes candy, tacos and laundry smell. ... more
