Opossum

Opossum - Matt Duke

Summer colds never really made much sense at all

I was sweating until mid-July

Ain't no better than the fall

I don't know what the day might bring at all

Just lock my door I'm safe inside my walls

So come on wake up

Don't play around

You know what I mean

Get up

We don't have much time

And come on wake up

Quit playin' dead

I know you're scared

But

We'll be fine

Just you and me

Jaded lay

On a roof

All through the rainy days

Brave yourself against the roaring sky

As the city washed away

Washed away

She laid a finger on my lips and says

Nooo

You complicate so much

Just let it go

So come on wake up

Don't play around

You know what I mean

Get up

We don't have much time

And come on wake up

Quit playin' dead

I know you're scared

But

We'll be fine

Just you and me

So I cried as the stone house

Drowned beneath the waves

Not like tears of mourning

Like tears of pain

Think of all that must come now

Plus I'll still have you

So hold me close

While we're waiting for the rescue boat

Darling take my tissue and blow your nose

Dear

So come on wake up

Don't play around

You know what I mean

Get up

We don't have much time

And come on wake up

I know you're scared

But

We'll be fine

Just you and me

You and me
