Handshakes

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.

This whole week's been wasted on back roads and gasoline.

This distance doesn't make things easier

And these friendships don't seem to help me.

I let you follow far too close.

When we were younger we never wanted to be alone

With our bad luck and foreign lines.

We'll fill the streets again.

If I take this corner, I'll take the whole goddamn street back.

I heard that living like this can take years off your life.

If you could make me fine - if you could make me alright.

You've got to let me go.

I always found it hard to recognize your face in the morning

In the cold, in the winter, in my home.

I can't even sleep without listening.

We can celebrate changed lives with everybody else
