Off Your Feet - Ron Pope

Two hours out

Snow coming down

"Love You Should've Come Over" has ended and begun again

The fix that I chase

Is sweeter than I've ever tasted

Living and dying and fading erased

I am the son of a haunted house

Love I can feel the cold coming on now

But one day soon I will forget

The parts of you that made me laugh

And all I will be left with is the dark

You were swept right off your feet

Onto your back away from me

While I was far away and fast asleep

Tearing my hair out drinking the bar down

They turned the lights on

I'm out in the dark now

I sit on the curb

Weight of the world

And make conversation with some forgettable girl

I'd say I'm high as a kite

But why would you fly in my neighborhood this time of night

And one day soon I will forget

The parts of you that made me laugh

And all I will be left with is the dark

You were swept right off your feet

Onto your back away from me

While I was far away and fast asleep

Still I run with no direction

Old before my time

And in a sea of desperation I will soon capsize

Like the river baptized some who seek a secret place

I am swimming for my life to try to find my way

My brother's advice

"Learn to survive" on my own

And one day soon I will forget

The parts of you that made me laugh

And all I will be left with is the dark

You were swept right off your feet

Onto your back away from me

While I was far away and fast asleep
