The Wallflowers - The Daylight Between Us lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the men were drinking wine and the women, they'd split To smoke French cigarettes We'll do a couple rails and sit around and b*tch Lie down and get sick In the morning there's a line of ashes in the sink And bruises on her lips The candles that were lit had melted on the cake As if they were over it Now she's looking for the dog and a last hit For water and a first aid kit But it used to be еnough to taste it [Refrain] But that's before wе were always wasted [Verse 2] Oh, in the spring of '09, oh, baby got straight Was getting only half baked I get a little high, what difference does it make If you do or you don't relate? It's true there is a light that comes on when I play Your sweetheart, the runaway But I'm never more than fine and you're not nearly brave Enough for the war I'll make And I feel like a soldier in this pit With you, a lion that won't quit But when I was in love I would make it [Refrain] But I only want you now when I'm wasted [Verse 3] We were living in the house we bought in '01 For ninety-seven down The car was on blocks, the wheels were on the ground Been a while since they'd seen town Oh, she was lying in the hall, her fingers in her gloves Couple of years past young She'd either given in or maybe given out Or a little of each of 'em Now I pour myself a drink and I get dressed Rate the horses and place my bets I want her back more than she'd guess [Refrain] But mostly I just wanna get wasted [Outro] If there were any second chances left Chances are they would get wasted
