The Comfort of Someone in the Other Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] With summer wind against my back I turn my neck back towards the past And kink a muscle which hasn't moved in years If every cigarette you kissed Were tangerines or licorice Your mumbles in the mornin' would be clear [Verse 2] Oh, who am I to be a heel I question how she loves me still Don't overthink the simple thing she brings I send you off and wish you well To ride on your sharp carousel A most familiar song to me she sings [Verse 3] Halo, won't you love me When I'm gone and I'm feeling ugly When I'm halfway 'round the bend On a bеnder Loneliness is prеtty In a populated city You promised that you'd stay Then you left her [Verse 4] I've darkened down the brightest rooms Spent fifty bucks on six tattoos To tell you every story that I know I've miserably meandered through A tune that she was dancin' to How sad to be so comfortably alone [Verse 5] She's better off, I'm better lost I mumble 'bout the Pentecost And curse the name of anyone who hears I hunker down and buckle up My life is short, your time is up Tell me where you see yourself in Five years Nowhere [Chorus] Ah, In bad times I'm drowning like a punchline In a room full of neckties I try To be half alive My good moods I'm sweating in a wool suit And the words that I sold you All of you Are getting harder now to relate Easier to walk away [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] Halo, won't you love me When I'm gone and feeling ugly When I'm halfway 'round the bend On a bender Loneliness is pretty In a populated city You promised that you'd stay Then you left her Then you left her Mm, then you left her
