lyrics

I don't like watching TV
but I like watching your shitshow unfold.
Every layer, another cliffhanger
the deeper I go, the more I wanna know
I wanna know it all.
So I can put blankets in all the right places
when your storylines fall

And I'm not gonna stay here long
But if I did, you might be the one that I would call.

It starts to look something like vultures,
with their eyes and the barstools and the smoke
It starts to look something like vultures and then,
it starts to look more like a joke.
And I'm not afraid anymore
of them seeing me wounded on the road
All it takes to scare 'em all off these days
is to say you're not afraid
of being alone.

I'm not gonna stay here long, but if I did
you might be the one I would call.

I feel like I'd never have to hurt you
in this light, in this cave
I feel like I could build a whole world
right around your name.
But I know better than that,
so I'm not gonna make a sound,
anymore than the Rockies do
when they're scratching the sky
and swallowing ground

And I'm not gonna stay here long,
but if I did, you might be the one that I would call.

When the big stuff gets put into small lines, it feels more manageable, to me at least.
