I might have made you
a little uneasy
but all I want is to be
unhealthy for a little while
longer

and we’re both leaving
in the next year
anyway
so let’s bundle up
and make our way
to the countryside
forget our home

I wouldn’t take a damn thing
except for both of our prides

I can promise to smoke less
and I’ll keep it

I can promise to drink less
or at least not drink alone

if you come to Ireland
will you stay on my floor
and watch the birds
chase the evening bugs
or will I renege
on my good word
and stay in the states

tell me
you don’t remember the mornings
and I’ll tell you
I don’t remember them either

well
I love a good war
and hate the ceasefire
more than anything else
except for my name
