lyrics

Little More

It was when my fourth novel was in its death throes
With the New York agent
Start at midday drinking through to Monday morning
Always thought our years together were a bank we could draw on
They were a bank that I owed money
And I just didn’t have it

Left the class hanging on my word
They’re still hanging on it
Took my passport
And my love for you with me

First bright idea was a big expressway to somewhere
Might as well throw in an international airport to anywhere
Last year in transit, left my soul as a tip
In a bar where I was romancing a memory that destroyed me
Perfect storm under blue skies
Here’s the one you chose without his disguise

Hit a couple of bars, parked up at the beach
Slept in the car
Maybe you weren’t the one
But you were the best, you were the best by far

Where do you go at night when I’m wasted?
What past do you meet outside to taste its lips?
I trace your letters back to the mouths that sealed them
I search your skin for missing fingertips

And the still to come
Is getting less than what has come before
You can’t do it all
But maybe you can do a little more
