Off Your Feet
RON POPE · Calling Off The Dogs 2014 · Track 08 of 11
Two hours out, Snow coming down “Love You Should've Come Over†has ended and begun again
The fix that I chase Is sweeter than I've ever tasted Living and dying and fading erased
I am the son of a haunted house Love I can feel the cold coming on now
But one day soon I will forget The parts of you that made me laugh And all I will be left with is the dark
You were swept right off your feet Onto your back, away from me While I was far away and fast asleep…
Tearing my hair out, drinking the bar down They turned the lights on I'm out in the dark now
I sit on the curb Weight of the world And make conversation with some forgettable girl
I'd say I'm high as a kite But why would you fly in my neighborhood this time of night?
And one day soon I will forget The parts of you that made me laugh And all I will be left with is the dark
You were swept right off your feet Onto your back, away from me While I was far away and fast asleep…
Still I run with no direction Old before my time And in a sea of desperation I will soon capsize
Like the river baptized some who seek a secret place I am swimming for my life to try to find my way
My brother's advice “Learn to survive†on my own…
And one day soon I will forget The parts of you that made me laugh And all I will be left with is the dark
You were swept right off your feet Onto your back, away from me While I was far away and fast asleep…
