I’ve leant my heart out enough times When it comes back it forgets my name It forgets my face and the sound of my voice It’s still chewing on all our furniture It howls and growls all night I locked it in the closet without a fight It keeps me up scratching at the doors I’ve promised not to let it out again She said “I’ll be sure to forget you in the morning Close your eyes and bite your tongue, you’re just boring” I’ve slept on enough broken mattress springs And finger-crossed sentiments to know these things I’ve cut my teeth on bedposts and broken homes Misery loves company and this is a miserable orgy Again, it’s all salt and skin to salt and skin A teeth grinding sound like bow to string I’m a shadowbox Casanova Reciting words penned years ago But when you come around It’s all tetanus lockjaw, words without sound So what, you said I caught your eye It’s just another night I lost my breath I’ll be sure to keep this breeze at my back Because it’s 3am and I’m already packed I hope you can still my fingers Not to brag but I’ve heard my touch lingers I’ve spent enough nights in the same jeans It’s just another night, it seems
