Esmerelda

Oh Esmerelda, I’m smoking cigars on the porch and I hope you know that I’m losing this fight 

I’m halfway to hell and the house right next door is just rotting away, the wood will decay by my side 

White lies 

Time flies 

We’re growing further apart 

Night falls, phone calls 

We make our way back to the start 

Expired that day back in March

Found refuge in the back yard 

The blue plastic chair and the buckets of paint, oh they tear me apart, my eyes stay fixed on the skyline 

White lies 

Time flies 

We’re growing further apart 

Night falls, phone calls 

We make our way back to the start 

Expired that day back in March

Found refuge in the back yard 

Oh Esmerelda, I’m laughing my way to the old circle K

With a screech from a nearby train 

I took the wrong trail and now up on the ridge, there’s a tree hollowed out where you carved the sum of our names 

White lies 

Time flies 

We’re growing further apart 

Night falls, phone calls 

We make our way back to the start 

Expired that day back in March
