Hollow Sounds

I wanna shake you down

And drag you like a cigarette

No, I ain't smoked in years

But the thought still gets my lips wet

Now, easy does it, was easy as it was to quit

But I think I met my match

How am I ever gonna get you licked

Going, going, gone away

From the only place I ever want to stay

This road gets lonelier everyday

I already asked you to wait

So how much more of me can you take?

I wanna light you up

Take you deep inside my lungs

Where maybe you could shine your light inside

On all the damage that I've done

Maybe one day we might just get me fixed

Or, at least better understand why I'm always getting sick

No don't go away

You're the only face I ever want to see

I hope one day soon you can depend on me

For more than just my ups and downs

More than just these shaky hands and hollow sounds
