lyrics

Inside my dresser I keep five drawers filled with linens and sweatshirts
I keep them labeled
Top to bottom my style enabled But inside number six I keep old letters and photos and snippets
From times I'd like to forget but my future nostalgia persists
If I fall asleep in the middle of my favorite film
If the walls should cave in will you find me with a satisfied grin
No
I'll climb out
I'll reach out
and grab your foot and pull you in
Because I won't fall asleep then until I'm gray with wrinkled skin

Inside my grey car the cases in back reveal my true cause
It's just me and Amy
The cornfields mock our city replacement
But as I shift to fifth my coffee days I reminisce
But this job I won't quit knock me out with this

If I fall asleep in the middle of my favorite film
If the walls should cave in will you find me with a satisfied grin
No
I'll climb out
I'll reach out
and grab your foot and pull you in
Because I won't fall asleep then until I'm gray with wrinkled skin

I spent the last hour untying this knot lodged deep in my stomach
I nearly spun off the road off a cliff in a ditch in a bitch of a blizzard that's blowing cold
I guess I didn't mind that much yeah I was startled but I caught up with my breath
If I'm gonna go I want to go when I'm on my way to a show
