lyrics

I've cursed your name so long that I'm not sure why you still call
Or why I still love when you do, like I can't get away from you
New Year's Eve and I'm drunk on a beach
Pocket change and a pay phone reach
Looking for you

I thought I saw you once with somebody else's love
Walking arm in arm with him like I thought you never would've been
You said autumn would leave and I could be
Much more than bones and hearts and sleeves
So I'm keeping one eye out for you

I've kicked you around and I've thrown you down
I've dragged you out into the street and left you lying there to bleed
Like that would somehow ease my grief
I've knocked you out and tried and tried so long to cut you off
Yet you still call

So here's to you
After all these empty corner rooms
And the August heat that came too soon, stayed too long
Turned me into nothing but a powder that she could walk right through
I'll take a shot for you
