Sally

Don’t go to sleep

Sally don’t go to sleep

I’m missing the sound of your voice

And tell me about all of your backwards dreams

And do you feel that you made the right choice?

How do you sleep?

Sally how do you sleep?

And how did your futon end up on the street

You know that I’d ask you if only we’d speak

But I can’t let you think you’ve got a hold on me

And I haven’t kissed anyone in a while

I haven’t kissed anyone in a while

Don’t say a word

Sally don’t ever speak

I know you’re just stringing a curse

I used to think you leaving was the most that it would hurt

But sticking around was worse

But I haven’t missed anyone in a while

I haven’t missed anyone in a while

I haven’t missed anyone in a while

Like you

Don’t look at me

Sally don’t look at me

I’m not the one to look for right now

There’s a box filled with mace and what’s left of the brakes of the car

That your brother drives now

And I haven’t seen him in a while

I haven’t seen him in a while

I haven’t seen him in a while

Have you?

Don’t look at me

Sally don’t look at me

I’m not who you met at the turnstile

But there’s a phone that could trace us right back to the day

When you stood on the train and you smiled

I’ll never not miss that smile

I’ll never not miss that smile

That I had right before we both wound up at yours

And you said I should stay for a while
