I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss And the silence makes me sick. No good can come from this. X2 I'm letting go. I've been holding on like poison ivy Out of cold suburban concrete From this careless urban sprawl. I'm letting go. You know we can't keep out of trouble. I thought my kids would call you uncle. I thought we'd never be alone. I've got images of you inside my head Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift. It's car-crash rhetoric. We fucked up everything we came in contact with. Just boyhood recklessness. I'm letting go. I've been holding on like poison ivy Out of cold suburban concrete From this careless urban sprawl. I'm letting go. You know we can't keep out of trouble. I thought my kids would call you uncle. I thought we'd never be alone. If you walked me home, you'd know how weak my arms got. Em (I usually don't play this ) I just can't carry you. If you walked me home, I know I'd have flashbacks Of snow angels and gut laughs. If you walked me home... but you won't. You're all alone on some bullshit, pill-bottle vision quest. If you walked me home, I don't know when I would finally Work up the backbone to walk alone. I'm letting go Cause I loved you, but I have to. I'm letting go. You know we can't keep out of trouble. I thought my kids would call you uncle. I thought we'd never be alone. I'm letting go. OUTRO there are two versions of the outro. If you decide to play I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral after, play outro 1. If you don't, or want to end it sounding more complete, play outro 2 OUTRO 1 If you walked me home... If you walked me home...
