I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
"To I swear, I say"
To hands
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stares/stairs to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose awe or sympathy
But never both

Last time "I hoped you choked
And crashed your car"

Hey "tear catcher," that's all that you are
And ever were
From the start
I swear, I say

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)
