Music and lyrics by Sam Quinn

you came to me with your heart in your hands
i was busy talking
fluorescent bulbs held you long enough
for me to keep on walking
the saddest ones play out in so many ways
forgetting is something i do all the time
falling flat on the avenue is easy

line after line off these interstate signs
the overpass makes the silence impossible
i forget birthdays, anniversaries
would you please keep inviting me
seeing my breath as i stepped in the cold
reminds me i used to love smoking
as a younger man i only made perfect decisions

easily daunted, free as i wanted to be
don’t ask me to stay because i’m easy

clouds making faces, you came here to fight
the snakes and the telephones stayed up all night
seatbelts can hold me so close, but nothing will save you

sliding alone by the light of the moon
i’ll give you ten dollars if you can find me
there was a time when i used to believe there was so much more
there was a time when you shut down in front of me
all i remember is leaving you in the flood

easily daunted, free as i wanted to be
easily daunted, free as i wanted to be
don’t ask me to stay because i’m leaving
why would you ever think i forgot how to run
