As Always

I tipped away to rate my share(?),
Forgave the years that took me there
As always,
Wrote the longest joke, the shortest way,
Made light of those who couldn't stay,
As always,
N' I wrestled with the leaves,
Thick as blood and odd as thieves,
Just like always,
Wrote a short remend in wet cement, right outside your door,
As always

Don't save me a seat,
Don't buy me a drink,
Cus there's scars on my heart,

And i'm much further gone than you think

Older mind, with younger eyes
No surprise, it's no surprise
As always,
Swept up the dust to hide my face,
My rival in the running face,
As always,
Sung my lungs until the rest of me would witness what I felt for you,
As always,

Wrote me and you across the view, your frozen window pane the view,
As always,

Don't save me a seat,
Don't buy me a drink,
Cus there's scars on my heart,
And i'm much further gone than you think,
Much further gone than you think,
Still I hope I see you around
