Andrew McMahon - Bloodshot lyrics

She walks to the mailbox Each morning at 9 Every day she begins she's always one day behind At least when it comes to the mail She sits on the balcony paying the bills Her letters just ashing her cigarettes onto the sill Every breath a little more pale The hill still left to climb is just so High And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on fire It's just so high And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on He sits in his basement From midnight till four Painting pictures that nobody sees From his days in the war Canvases bathed in bright red He heats up the shower He paces the hall He'll scrub for an hour or more But he won't get it all Paint in his fingernail beds The hill still left to climb is just so High And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on fire It's just so high And I'm so tired Come on look up at The bloodshot sky The clouds are all on Fire We wait in valleys while the clouds come in We see no shadows 'Cuz a shadow's all there is And we climb And we climb But it's just so High And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on fire It's just so high And I'm so tired Come on look up at The bloodshot sky The clouds are all on Fire
