He goes outside for a smoke, got time to kill before
He goes to work the graveyard shift
For a job that he hates, with a shitty paycheck
In a quiet town, he prays for the stones to up and run.
He’s usually out there alone but not tonight, there’s a
Girl with an unlit smoke asking for a light
So he hands her his, and she says thank you,
And he says no problem, she prays for his words that never come.
I can take you away from here if you want me to.
We can leave today, let’s see where my word can take us, you’ll see it’s good.
Words that never come, songs that are left unsung.
Regretful thinking as the smoke between his toes and the
Concrete whither cause he knows that there in that opportunity,
The man he wanted to be would extend his words,
To a woman praying each night to be free.
Wishing that he could, tell her he’s usually alone but not tonight, and that
He saw her face and in the darkness came a light,
Like the sun that’s slowly rising, hope on the horizon,
But the smoke that brought him to her, is slowly crushed under his size thirteen.
I can take you away from here if you want me to.
We can leave today, let’s see where my word can take us, you’ll see it’s good.
Words that never come, songs that are left unsung.
