lyrics

we put the dog to sleep
cried most of saturday
we named
the ones we'd catch and save
never to see the light again

i dug a hole beneath the pitch pine tree
you cried you cried while i wept and dug
the dirt wiped the sweat and stared at you
your tiny hands gripped the edges of my shirt
let's put our minds at ease and use bottles we can't use
everyday and in a way that leads us both to say

i was weak
now i'm strong
my only weakness was thinking
i was lost and sober

you look fine
in the way
you address the reckless
parts of my audience
my sordidness of heart

we moved out of that place
to chop the walnut frame she stops
short of laughing in a way
no he don't deserve my tears not today
we put down payments on the moving truck
and sang old songs on the piano on the bench
in the back of it
the line haul charges won't change my hopes of hopes
of moving minutes from where we come from
who cares where we go
dramamine dog in my clothes old notes from dad
songs i wrote on the door on the fridge in the kitchen
in the dark

said "you're gonna love me when you gonna love me the same?"
