keep me steady // i can’t remember growing up/ my first eight years are all but lost/ but i remember pacing late at night/ i guess something’s never change with time/ i know i promised you that i’d be fine/ but i thought you could tell i lied/ so let’s set up shop by the window and pretend that’s what it’s for/ and watch small town drunks stumble by the church/ to the run down bar next door/ and end up sleeping on the floor/ tired and alone/ i’d always end up sleepless/ i’ve been watching static screens for three weeks/ and making sure to keep my weight on both feet/ i’m doing everything you said to keep me steady/ but my head feels heavy/ and i think i’m falling in again/ well i was never too impressed by your bridge/ but i wouldn’t burn it down if it took the memories with it/ it was the summer of repetition/ same streets on a different night/ it was the summer of repetition/ same six sets of stoplights/ i’d sit bored in your backseat for another summer straight/ if it meant thing’s would never change and we would all just stay the same/ i just want someone who will stay/ man, i just want someone/ i left a rope on your nightstand/ you’ve got a choice to make at hand/ you either grab the end and pull me out/ or tie the noose and wrap it around/ i hope you pull me out/
