Silver Lake

Aches and pains. From a bender out in Silver Lake
She can't talk sometimes. She gets lost sometimes
It's "a lot" but she's okay
Now, it's such a shame 'cause he was playing ball for Notre Dame
When he said "baby, no need to think so much
You know that mankind just needs a woman's touch..."

She's waning and waxing tonight
She hates that he's asking her why
She said "it's not gonna happen but boy, you'll be fine."

She said

"I don't wanna take it out on you, James
But lately I've been hanging by a shoelace
And you're too late."

She binged cartoons last summer while she licked her wounds
She'd say "Spongebob might be her favorite show
Is that a side effect of taking lexapro?" (whoa!)

She's waxing and waning tonight
She hates that the planets aligned
She'd say "James you're a good guy but I'll need some time."

She said

"I don't wanna take it out on you, James
But lately I've been hanging by a shoelace
And you're too late. And you're too late."

Yeah

I don't wanna hold my breath for you James
I don't wanna hold my breath for you James
I don't wanna hold my breath so
I'm not gonna hold my breath oh
I don't wanna hold my breath for you James

I don't wanna take it out on you James
(I don't wanna take it out on you)
But lately I've been hanging by a shoelace
(I don't wanna take it out on you)
And I don't want to take it out on you James
(I don't wanna take it out on you)
And I don't want you holding out 'til Doomsday
(I don't wanna take it out on you)
Gimme two shakes
Gimme two shakes
And I'll be right there
