lyrics

Text after text I wait for a hit
sunlight, pop music, unshackled like a tourist
dreamed some apocalypse spared me
forget it all a puff of smoke the minute that I feel that jolt
of someone who remembered i was waiting here

when you’re not around I don’t know
typing until the sun goes
just to sweep the hours along
like a pro professional
if you shuffled my days on earth
nothing would change at all I’m sure
all the ordinary secrets
like a pro professional

rock and roll betrayed us
i carry a cold glass and a warm hand outside
but everyone’s at work in their hearts
frowning over secret grudges and unmet desires
invisible lines snaking everywhere like tripwires

when you’re not around I don’t know
typing until the sun goes
just to sweep the hours along
like a pro professional
if you shuffled my days on earth
nothing would change at all I’m sure
the soft arms of time hold me down
like a pro professional

it’s an awful crush in my mind
but none of it shows up in the lines
of the photo of me raising the glass
like a pro professional
when you’re not around I don’t know
typing until the sun goes
just to sweep the hours along
like a pro professional
if you shuffled my days on earth
nothing would change at all I’m sure
I need you here so I have somewhere
to look that looks back at me
