Devices

I'm as far away as I can get
From the man on the other side of this queen size bed
He'd pull me close if I'd let him
But I pulled the sheets between us instead

Gotta fill the space somehow
And he'll have to do for now
Little trick for when I'm down
But I wish that it was you

I'm as high as a holy roller
Speaking tongues to the shadows in my room
And the answer's up above me
I've got one more line and nothing to lose

I've been racing with the sun
I can't win but I can numb
And the taste that's on my tongue
Well I wish that it was you

They're not my own devices if they're owning me
I give em all I got they say they'll set me free

I'm staring straight down the barrel
Of the lonely half of this double shotgun house
I'll walk these floors straight and narrow
But I can't say no when trouble comes along

Cuz I built a home for two
But it's me here with the truth
And the voice I hear is cruel
And I wish that it was you
