Now Old Cassettes and Cigarettes Will Be the One's To Save You

A northern lover turned bitter; the greatest disappearing act; laden w/ tact. I have always lacked what it took to make you stay. A northern lover in the winter; How my skin cracks and the ocean seems so far away; like the words you swore you'd never say. I have always lacked what it took to make you stay. A midwest breeze; it opens me I can finally breathe and the reason to see becomes clear to me when I wake to my window cracked; I have always lacked what it took to make you stay. A southern fling; engagement rings spoken words, humming birds, the lake to bathe in and wash away your sin don't worry love I still see you, for what you are, sleeping in cars, smoking me out, higher than the clouds, buried in the ground, always coming back around and waiting for the fall-out...
