New beginnings
Winning the lottery and moving away
I scratch another ticket and shrug not today
Watercolor painting of the swing set in your backyard
Reminds you of who you were
Makes you question what you're not
But I know you

You're new strings on this old guitar
That ring out in the autumn dark
You're strong words in a quiet voice
To break the back of this difficult choice
And you're right there when I can't breath
When my hands shake and my car keys
Can't find the ignition

She asks if I have a light
She could really use a cigarette tonight
I say that shit will fucking kill you
And hand her one anyways
I've been looking for a hand to hold
Earnestly searching since sixteen years old and
She says that shit will fucking kill you
And takes mine anyway
It's just a game
One of mutually assured destruction
I'm glad you came
But let me let you in on a little something
I can't see what's wrong with me
But you're especially gifted
We're picking apples from orange trees
Sweetness found with liquor lifted
From a strip mall
We got caught
You said run but I did not
