Starry Night

Lying on my back i feel you breathing
Sucking down the ghosts into your sleep
There's something in your spine that makes me nervous
And the black that swells between us grows more deep
I cut the world in chords making melodies from words and i'm confused again
Take all this abuse because i ain't got much to loseIt's a starry starry night out here on hope street
But hope gives way to hunger when you're poor
And with pockets full of promises and poems
I know that you ain't worth much anymore
Spoke in broken time crooked rythyms twisted rhymes and i'm confused again
Paint my world in blue because i've never liked to loseI don't think i want to spend another night with you
I don't think i want to spend another day feeling the way you leave me toStanding in the half light of the morning
I watch the shadows lace across my shoes
There's something in your voice that makes me nervous
If i can tell we're lying why can't you?
The song that's in my head is playing backwards in this bed and i'm confused again
Seems like i have to choose it feels like either way i lose
