[Verse 1]
I woke up screaming and swearing in Spanish
Clueless to the sounds and smells of people around me
Washed my face in the cracked sink
Walked a stained carpet, kissed your naked shoulder and I took to the street
The trip home isn't is as it always was and always will be
Was a stain of pleasant taste of you still in my mouth
When I quit smoking I ran out of good reasons to leave the house
[Pre-Chorus]
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
[Chorus]
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine, my body is a machine
[Verse 2]
And you look so tiny and scared in the kitchen doing the dishes on your little tippy-toes
I remember before the wreckage I swung your arms from side to side
Danced a waltz on the kitchen tiles and the last time that I touched you would be when I brushed your shoulder in the corridor of our old house
We kicked and screamed about whether I was gonna get my bunk back but what I was really saying was I still loved you and you were screaming, "get the fuck out of my house"
[Pre-Chorus]
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere
[Chorus]
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine, my body is a machine
[Verse 3]
You said it was just another thing that you never explained to me
I was pit-walking a median strip near my parents house - going about sixty
And I flew for the first and only time in my life
If they hit me, they hit me [x8]
They hit me if they
They hit me if they hit me [x8]
They hit me if they
I woke up screaming and swearing in Spanish
Clueless to the sounds and smells of people around me
Washed my face in the cracked sink
Walked a stained carpet, kissed your naked shoulder and I took to the street
The trip home isn't is as it always was and always will be
Was a stain of pleasant taste of you still in my mouth
When I quit smoking I ran out of good reasons to leave the house
