lyrics

Oceanside is slower in the winter
You told me on the drive that you could not remember
The last time that she asked you anything about yourself

Cannabis, tattoos of mascara
Said the accident changed her life forever
And she told me about her cancer and I called her a survivor
And I thought back to that paper about a fawn trapped in a fire

Overcast, she calls you just to tell you
That he’s drunk again, slander masked as virtue
And I watch the ember burn your mouth with nothing to atone

Prophesy, stare daggers at the ceiling
Wake me in the night to ask me how I’m feeling
About just going back to Phoenix, about the cost of only giving
About the boxer and his weakness, the epitaphs of those still living
About the strings tied to the puppet, about the web and its great weaver
About the price of staying above it, about the price of trying to leave her

Don’t pretend to be a stranger when you’re not
I know you have to keep the piece of that girl that she forgot

Don’t pretend to be a stranger when you’re not
Don’t pretend to be a stranger when you’re not
Don’t pretend to be a stranger when you’re not
I know you have to keep the piece of that girl that she forgot
I know you have to keep the piece of that girl from giving up
