I dreamt of you last night
Your hands were on the wheel and your secret in your eyes
You kept my hollow dream alive
Did no one ever tell you that when you sing I start to cry?

You dont have to tell me much
The way you hold body makes it clear enough
The bottle makes you feel real tough
But I know that tomorrow you’ll be back on your same old stuff

These days you’re just a stranger

I still have your letter
I’ve only read it once but I can tell you every word
I still have that sweater
The one that smelled like fire wood when you told me you were up to something no good
And that I should move a little closer and sing another song for you

How’s your mom? How’s your sister? Are you still good at skipping stones?
I tend to worry you said “try not to for me” as we waxed poetic in your childhood home

These days you’re just a stranger

I still have your letter
I’ve only read it once but I can tell you every word
I still have that sweater
The one that smelled like fire wood when you told me you were up to something no good
And that I should move a little closer and sing another song for you
You told me you were sorry for messing with my head
You say that you don’t want me
You should tell your body
Wrap me in your arms and then leave me to bleed
I can't understand why

I still have your letter
I’ve only read it once but I can tell you every word
I still have that sweater
The one that smelled like fire wood when you told me you were up to something no good
And that I should move a little closer and sing another song for you
