Different faces I find, unconscious traces of mine
Avert my gaze, ignore, evade, while they string their words
I must remember their yarn only travels to and fro
Can only go so many yards, so very far
Cover the distance in my car
Sweet relief when you would call
Attempt escape from my faults
Before I mistake sugar for salt
Warm summer weather was our sour severance
The space between us seems like the undertow
I'll never know if I don't drive, if I won't try
Cover the distance in my car
Sweet relief when you would call
Attempt escape from my faults
Before I mistake sugar for salt
The home we made for ourselves
It's contracted a headache
Complains with those creaks and moans
Empty dial tones
I left as a favor, realized when I saw you later
Progress isn't always linear
Cover the distance in my car
Sweet relief when you would call
Attempt escape from my faults
Before I mistake sugar for salt
Through these bright rose colored glasses
Never known true care in the past so
You can use me up, take my last breath
I'll get better, fuck being bitter
