From the recording Night With You
Lyrics
Found myself, the edge of the river
with one foot in, a cast on the other
a harmony sister and a bootleg brother
Wavin from the other shore
the night before tasted like tequila,
my honour is gone, my memories are bitter
a sour mouth a pain in my liver
sending my soul to war
I can't drown
I can see the shore from here
but my sinking heart
is a painful souvenir
of a Night With You
it Started off like any distaster
a half-baked plan, a whole lot of laughter
a narrow escape from the sweet hereafter
a promise to never go back
but promises are made to be broken
and secrets are told to one other person
and sure enough we pulled back the curtain,
and everything faded to black
I won't back down, I I can see the end from here
but my sinking heart
is a painful souvenir
of a night with you
You warned me not to fall in love and give my heart to anyone
who wouldn't come out with me on the ledge
carve your name into my skin, I still don't know where you begin,
and I end up out here on the edge,
of a night with you.
Found my hat and I gave my head a shake
floated down on the far side of heartbreak
counted my winnings, minus the give and take
and shuffled on back to school.
told my story with a burst of clarity
tasted regret with a side of irony
I missed you so bad I think that it's killing me
crying here like a fool
I can't drown, I can see the shore from here
but my sinking heart, is a painful souvenir
of a night with you
If I end up a casualty of love and war and memories
burning like an ember in my mind
read my scars and read my skin, I never wanted anything
it didn't take some sweat and blood to find,
like a night with you
Night with you
