State St. Residential Songtext

State St. Residential Songtext
Holding fast until the rent checks wear thin
Because it hasn′t sunk in, so far
When it's a drab routine, the dust starts building
Until it′s hard to come clean
Then my months stack up to an addictive crutch
As if the drink weren't enough
A stagger cannot compete, there's no charm in being
A residential state street
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
I wish you could know better than you show
With parted lips pointing down
That the whiskey soothes more than you could ever do
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it′d make
And what a difference it′d make
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it'd make
And what a difference it′d make
Because it hasn′t sunk in, so far
When it's a drab routine, the dust starts building
Until it′s hard to come clean
Then my months stack up to an addictive crutch
As if the drink weren't enough
A stagger cannot compete, there's no charm in being
A residential state street
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
I wish you could know better than you show
With parted lips pointing down
That the whiskey soothes more than you could ever do
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it′d make
And what a difference it′d make
And if I was sober
Would I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it'd make
And what a difference it′d make
