​

Take one of these and 

​

call me tomorrow 

​

lay down and rest 

​

close your eyes. 

​

I want to see you 

​

get better, get healthy 

​

get lots of sleep -- 

​

at least, try. 

​

There’s no other way out

 

just let the time pass 

​

stay down, babe, you said just stay down. 

​

But I want to give in 

​

to the rain soaking my

​

clothes to lights awake all

 

night 

​

above town. 

​

So when you’re sleeping deeply

​

I’ll put on a jacket 

​

and make my way to the backyard. I’ll roll both

 

of my sleeves up and tell you everything 

 

I’ll let you see each of my scars.
