Lyrics:
my back flew first out swinging doors of the saloon,
out settling scores that didn't want to get even.
we leave the things that we know; that we're told,
on the side of the roads that we take to believe them.
I pull my sleeves down to my thumbs,
and look around as all the people started running,
and I look to the fog, for something that is coming.
when I was a good guy, I guess I felt fine.
days were days, and they would go by.
and all of my reasons, I believed in;
and that was all I ever could have needed.
maybe I'm a bad guy, or just some guy, neither one feels much better.
I always end up outside, trying to get high, trying to get myself together.
I can't, resolve this all for you, I didn't know that after all this time,
we'd still be speaking in absolutes.
if it's going to take a little longer out at sea,
that's fine; just tell me not to take you literally,
you can splash in that shit all day, but don't get it on me.
all the good times; the good lucks; the coffee cups.
when you'd go, I hope I spoke to your soul in those doorways,
no matter what they say, we're going to be ok.
you said "jake, you know we're all just out here sitting;
waiting for the hypothermia to kick in."
yeah, it's you and me, and me and you, just sitting;
waiting for the hypothermia to kick in.
