lyrics

Baby since you've been gone I've been trying on your clothes. Listening to The Supremes I don't put shit up my nose anymore. Leave hard drugs to the guys that can't get it up, who can't talk to girls in the bar. Water doesn't symbolize life when you're drowning. The sun don't mean anything at all, if you never see the light. If you never see the light. Winter doesn't represent death. Cause' it's almost always cold in Canada, that's when we're at our best. Teenage girls, they mean trouble for guys like me. Just because we were born here baby it's absurd. We can have grand fights in your car, we can fly across the world and be back in time to watch your favourite tv show. With your journey to the east, I'm done with metaphor. Just to lie in your arms is what I'm here for. Our souls can't mean god, when they're full of wretched despair. I clawed in the darkness and I promise god wasn't there. Baby since you been gone I've been wearing all your clothes. Screaming to Otis Redding shitfaced on Irish Rose. I've been trying on perfume, I've been lying in our room, but baby...where the fuck are you?
