LIFE WITHOUT YOU

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

/

about

Missing someone ain't sad. It's deep, powerful and glorious. It's also a flat stone skipping across a pond of madness, a spinning top of wild hallucination, longing and color. But how much would it suck if ya didn't, right?

lyrics

LIFE WITHOUT YOU

screen door bangin
old man drinkin
2 dogs barkin
in the yard

baseball hits
a glove real hard
baby’s cryin
in a flashy car

if yr lucky
count 6 fingers
maybe yll make it
10 figures

flannel pajamas
n pick up stick
a tree house n
a nose t pick

a funny face
a torn pocket
you can't fix it
maybe i can

dirty knees
n dirty pictures
sneakin out
n burnin bridges

2 boys runnin
under stars
a sputnik scalpel
cuts a scar

old time faucet
a lazy drip
a river flood
no time t fit

a stolen kiss
a finger tip
i shut my eyes
a bone is lit

i cut my finger
i taste my blood
a kid like you
is a kingdom come

a door is shut
a window open
a happy face
frogmore’s broken

i take a picture
i read a book
i burn my fingers
’s all it took

i ain’t hungry
but im starvin’
burn the soup
i beg yr pardon

i can’t go out
i can’t stay in
can i call you up?
maybe i should

a dirtbike crash
ya see the ocean
ya hit the grass
can’t stop laughin’

i miss ya baby
ya know i do
but that’s ok
jes keep it brand new

yr hairs on fire
catch the sun
fingers touch
my leg
like a (toy) gun

exactly

2 shitty beers waitin’ for us
at the Behan
