Heuser/Pierce
She once told me to split for the city
I gave too many chills to waste
She had no clue she was kissing all my daydreams
With all her words I took as true
And when I told her my life was on the line
She warned I thought too much to shine
Leaning on a wooden fence your father built sometime
Looking for a heaven-sent you used to find at night
Ripped jeans hanging off your hips, your t shirt sweated though
Goosebumps grab your damp arm hair, the mud clings to your shoes
The months kept draining, lost in hesitation
The days they never seem to choose
After midnight I fall into assessment
With blistered heels and fingertips
And when the time comes to pay my monthly dues
My songs can't fill the envelope
Oh my god your voice is pretty
Play another one for me
I'm stuck as still as air
Whatcha doing playing here?
Blue moon somewhere, hang in the air
Blues tune out there, sing for your cares
Leaning on a wooden fence your father built sometime
Looking for a heaven-sent you used to find at night
Ripped jeans hanging off your hips, your t shirt sweated though
Goosebumps grab your damp arm hair, the mud clings to your shoes
Voices quaking through you head that yo ya no soy yo
Fingers shaking fight your grip on what you hope you know
Looking back the still-born sky shows the school you won't attend
Only peek in glances at the life that you once led
