There was a sacrificial ritual inside my room last night

the last thing I need, it's true,

I cant begin, begin to tell you the way it all felt

when everything fell through

[Outro]
Alternate between C and G
You moved to New York to meet a beautiful girl
and drink fancy cocktails without a care in the world
But you got scared they're all gonna find someone else
So you find one and tell her things you're dying to tell
We got high to a record; I forget how it went
It was a song about love at the time it made sense
and when the side ended we just layed there in bed
You had fallen asleep but I stayed up and read
I made a list of everything I said I never meant
Considered all the things I never said but I digress
I got dressed, kissed your forehead, and left
You called me when you woke but I was sleeping off the meds
