Bark!

Little bite, too much bark
Little sleep, too much Marx
I was lashing like a rescued dog
She said, "Go for a walk"
All these blinking lights are making me sick
Luke was right, he says I lost my edge
Spent a night in the bluffs tryna find it
Go to bed, we'll try again in the mornin'

Another call to Brooklyn, another wasted night on could've-beens
Always had a way of gettin' rid of what was in your head
What makes it a good life, more than just a good time?
What made Calvin drive into a wall at just twenty-five?

Never found the right way to say it but I've never missed you more than now
Sеttling my debts, setting bones, now I'm tryna lеarn to settle down
Digging at my thoughts, call the dogs off, call you when I level out
Never found the right way to say it but I've never missed you more than now

Too much time to myself
Little wine for my health
Mouth's been pouring like an open cut
'Bout time you sewed it up
Luke was tweaking, pulling at a fresh stitch
I keep him company, I'll never disappoint him
Grandpa died with a corporate pension
Fucker never had a funeral service

Another call on the late shift, another wasted night on could've-beens
Always finding ways of gettin' rid of what was in my head
Curled up on a van floor, cut off at the corner store
You know I've never felt so damn alive or alone before

You know I never found the right way to say it, but I've never missed you more than now
Settling my debts, setting bones, now I'm tryna learn to settle down
Digging at my thoughts, call the dogs off, call you when I level out
You know, I never found the right way to say it, but I've never missed a

Crawling up towards midnight, I said I wouldn't drink tonight
But Lexi's pouring the mulled wine
'Til I'm toasted in a mirror, toasting to a new year
Look like my dad In a necktie
It's another decade over, got confetti in my drink
Must've missed you calling when the room began to sing
It's one missed call from Brooklyn, one more wasted year on could've-beens
Always finding ways to get you off my mind so often
Should an old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?

You know I never found the right way to say it, but I've never missed you more than now
Settling my debts, setting bones, now I'm tryna learn to settle down
Digging at my thoughts, call the dogs off, call you when I level out
I never found the right way to say it, but I've never missed you more than now
