adjacent

half asleep on the couch in your basement

there's a combination of things keeping me awake

cause i know in the room adjacent

you lie beside the lease you signed and not the man you thought you'd find

no

there's no convincing you - i should've never came

your mind's already made

there's no convincing you. i don't know what i thought i'd get

but i know i didn't get it

i didn't have the money but i swallowed the toll

and you don't seem to mind

i couldn't spit it out so you swallowed me whole

and you don't seem to mind

i placed a carefully crafted handwritten letter in your laundry basket

on top of dirty clothes i came clean

juxtaposed

and said to you everything you'd already known

like

i'm sick of the time zones and taking the train. you're wearing me out
