Rose Dorn – Dirt

https://rosedorn.bandcamp.com/album/speak-later

your smile was pretty, but your lips tasted like dirt
your heart was blue, and there was nothing cute except your dog
I was with him the whole night in my head
close my eyes, and I was kissing him instead

I want to go
takes forty-five minutes with the traffic to get home
here I’ll take off your coat
tell your best friend that you finally got me alone

my coffee tasted better when it was left out in the cold
I bought you tea so we could play a game of pool
can’t tell whether you feel me like I don’t feel you
the patio felt safer the first time i watched the sky turn blue

I want to go
takes forty-five minutes with the traffic to get home
here I’ll take off your coat
tell your best friend that you finally got me alone
heard you’re playing a show
I’d drive forty-five minutes sitting in traffic on my own
came to watch you choke
singing canned songs about a word you’ll never know
