Woke Up Older |
You’ve got lunch with your sister tomorrow |
So we can’t be up late |
You don’t mind if I sleep in |
But then I’ve gotta pack my things |
So I stacked a Bukowski novel on a Blacklisted LP |
And this time what it looked like was just what it proved to be |
You said you needed a stiff drink to take your mind off things |
Hey Jess, I woke up older |
Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes |
Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed |
You left the room receded like my hairline |
I’ve been avoiding Rittenhouse like the plague |
Because I just can’t handle seeing you today |
You made this house into a home |
Now, I’m a stranger on my street |
And as I turned to leave |
I caught myself in the mirror to see I aged a year this week |
I left a note up on your bed that said |
«Hey, thanks again for everything you did» |
Hey Jess, I woke up older |
Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes |
Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed |
You left the room receded like my hairline |
When John introduced «Woke Up New» in St. Augustine |
I knew I wasn’t alone |
When I woke up here without you |
There was nothing to do but pack up and go home |
Hey Jess, I woke up older |
Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes |
Hey Jess, I woke up older |
Carrying two years in the bags under my eyes |
Hey Jess, I watched you wake up and get dressed |
You left the room receded like my |
(Left the room receded like my) |
Left the room receded like my hairline |
