Pressed Against Your Shoulder

Pressed against your shoulder on some Friday night
I knew then and there that I would watch you die
I may tumble
But I'll never fall

And though I stand by you, you still scare me to death
Threw up on the sidewalk let it get in my hair
On the corner
No one batted an eye

But I'd lay with you forever if it kept you around
Sleep there on the pavement on the dirty ground
Forever we can fall asleep

And if loving you was feeding you would finally eat
And I wouldn't have to miss you like a dog in heat
I still trust you
More than you deserve

Then a cocktail of wood glue and broken glass
Gave me a big scare I just can't look past
Keeping pressure, just holding tight

You say, never let sleep in the way of a bad idea
Just keep on pushing, babe, till you start to feel
Let disaster show herself to you

Insomnia, you bastard, girl, I love you so
I do my best thinking on an access road
Cozy up
Let's go for a drive

But forever we can fall asleep
Ever, we can fall asleep
Ever, we can fall asleep
Never, we can fall asleep
Ever, can we fall asleep now

I don't want to talk about what happened that night
Screw it, man, I can't do nothing else but drive
All alone now
What you gotta hide
