lyrics

Linoleum

Restless and Flightless
In the world that you know
Thumbs in your pockets,
I know you have to go
You came to see me,
You stayed in my bed
Your skin was pressed to me
But your heart, it had fled.

Your hands span the width of my back
I feel small here and simple
Tip toes on the worn linoleum,
I like to think you might stay
You might stay
I like to think you might stay

Hopeful and Hopeless
You lost what you know
Boots on the earth,
You’ll go where you’ll go
You may conquer your demons and
Conquer the land
But I’ll march to the beat
Of my own marching band

Silent and wordless you went on your way
I stayed here, I learned here
I laughed, and I played
While my feet take me homewards
Yours take you away
Flat foot on the kitchen floor,
I live day to day

Exposed coil bulbs on our pirate chandelier
Show the marks of the landlord's kids who wore their black shoes in here
Its cheap and its checkered, Its old and its worn
But there are memories here,
There were memories born,
Of tip-toed kisses on this scuffed linoleum
There are memories here,
There were memories born
Exposed coil bulbs on our pirate ship chandelier
You’d hit your head on it,
Do you remember that dear?
Exposed coiled bulbs on our pirate chandelier
Show the marks of the dumbass kids
Who wore their goddamn black shoes in here
