Lyrics
State Street Residential
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Holding fast until
The rent checks wear thin
Because it hasn't sunk in, so far
When it's a drab routine
The dust starts building
Until its hard to come clean
Then my months stack up
To an addictive crush
As if the drink weren't enough
A stagger cannot compete
There's no charm in being
A residential state street
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
I wish you could know
Better than you show
With parted lips pointing down
That the whiskey soothes
More than you could ever do
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
What a difference it'd make
And what a different it'd make
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
What a difference it'd make
And what a different it'd make
