Something Sweeter / Last Words / Ghost Stories (Reprise)

from Sweet Degenerate by Jordan Popky

lyrics

Bitter cold, bitter drink
Better morning, better sing
Get the words out
Get to keep them
Keep on moving
Can’t quite feel them

And I’m just so tired
Can I go home
Will you stay beside me
In the silence
Or let me cry
Just don’t leave me alone

I will drink my coffee with creamer
When I sit with you
I’ll indulge in something sweeter
While the lilacs are in bloom

But I can't shake the feeling that I'm running out of time
I've already missed too much of everything I've left behind
In a moment, all I hold are memories of love
Even though I know that no more time could be enough
I wish I'd come home so much more before
I should have been there every time

Now I've forgotten how to fight or fly
I'm held at the mercy of my mind
