Carparts

The Long Winters

I'm leaving you all of my car parts
I didn't have the money or I would have gotten roses
You poured one more highball
But I had to go before my poor heart overflowed
Ceiling tiles and highway signs are flowing through my mind

You put all your hope in my slim chance
I didn't know I had

I'm leaving under cover of darkness
I never had a home where I didn't need to hide
I've seen every lover leave me the same way
The harder they are the harder I try
That's a lie, but I say it with a smile

You put all your hope in my slim chance
I didn't know I had
I don't even have cigarettes

Baby wasn't down with the heist
I just tried to do what I thought was right
But baby wasn't down with it
She wasn't down

I'm leaving you all of my car parts
I'll call you when I'm coming back again if I can
I mean to quit stealing as soon as I steal for the last time
At least my watch is right two times a day

You put all your hope in my slim chance
I didn't know I had
I don't even have cigarettes
