David Berkeley - Scraps of You

It's not time to take your picture off the wall,
it's only Thursday
And the way it's going, it's not getting in my way
Maybe it was sadness, not sunlight, in your eyes
Why? And what'd we do?

You know that the obvious is ours
It's dangerous for a thinking man
You know how the argument goes down
The stranger in us comes back around
You're harder, but you're fine

But it's not time to take the guitar from the case,
it's only Friday
And maybe all this music wouldn't make it
through your walls
All you have to rattle has been rattled long before
Ship the oars and swim to shore, it's true

You know that the obvious is ours
It's dangerous for a drinking man
You know how the sickness goes around
The stranger in us'll drag you down

Sounds the same a while
Sounds won't change a while

I'd burn the pile of scraps of you
I'm hoping for something
to push me out of view
I'm hoping for someone
to hold me back from you
It's true
It's you, and it's unkind

You know the obvious is ours
It's dangerous for a broken man
You know all a lifetime's ups and downs
The stranger in us comes back around

You're better off when you're falling down
You're better off when you're lost, not found
You're better off not to make a sound
