Airborne

Intro: verse 1 You said that you would call me And when you didn’t call me I gave you up for dead So I was working on a backbone And chiseling a tombstone When you called me up and said Through a wall of heavy breathing You thought it was relieving To be out on your own How a voice that used to thrill me Could cut me up and kill me On the fucking telephone You did not even send me airborne anyway Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say verse 2 It was just another Thursday Like any other Thursday Except that we were through We were wading through the concrete And digging through the scrap heap Deciding what belonged to who All the treasure from the good days Was going through the last phase Of yours and yours and mine When something from the yours pile Shattered on the floor tile And you went off like Frankenstein You did not even send me airborne anyway Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say verse 3 I think it’s clear that I adore you I didn’t mean to bore you Or grind it in so deep I had to place another call in I didn’t think you’d fall in With the company you keep And you tell me that you love me But you don’t really love me You remind me every day When you’re living in a flood plain It doesn’t take a hard rain To wash it all away You did not even send me airborne anyway Why in the world I hung around it’s hard to say
