Spill Through

lyrics

and I left you
at the side of the road
kicking a sun-stained paper cup

but as I pressed the pedal down
and the tires gripped the ground
I couldn’t even look up

’cause it’s true that I loved you
and it’s true I was scared
they spill through
all those things I never knew we never had

and I watched you
swallowed by the mirror
the sun burned a hole in my eyes

sliding box of glowing red
crossed my mouth — fell off my head
wind blew the trash through the lights

pinwheel pictures
through the dark I could see you
shimmering and then spinning out of sight

then I saw you in a field
just a shadow as you kneeled
arms stretched out to the night

’cause it’s true that I loved you
and it’s true I was scared
they spill through
all those things I never knew we never had
