The Rent Is Due

Last night, my mind dreamt

across 8 state lines

to lull into dreams of sleeping, lying

but not so alone this time

could you feel it when i stole covers,

kissed your neck

and wished you one goodnight

i hoped to remain in for the rest of my days

now these north breezes haunt me so teasingly placed

once again in my path, once again i am faced

with the cold truth of autumn the tease of her taste

my bags have been packed for days

So make it a point to

say you miss me

and tell all of your friends

of the boy from which your accent comes

oh wont you hold it, against me

for knowing the words

what you say to make your heartbeat stop

last night, my arm stretched out

up new england and into the deep south

just to pull back clouds that hide the sun

just to burst through your windows just for fun

could you feel when i snuck in?

starting slowly a battle i could never win

could you feel when i burst through

i am the sunligh drenching you

now these north breezes haunt me so teasingly placed

once again in my path, once again i am faced

with the cold truth of autumn the tease of her taste

my bags have been packed for days

So make it a point to

say you miss me

and tell all of your friends

of the boy from which your accent comes

oh wont you hold it, against me

for knowing the words

what you say to make your heartbeat stop
