"hey there, are you blushing?" a stranger says to me
I dressed too warm for Denver
it's put color in my cheeks
she held a glass of champagne
her eyes went through my skull
sometimes when you're lonely you don't get seen at all
but tonight I met Lily and her black Mercedes-Benz
well everyone's a stranger here and I'm this stranger's friend
she came down from Chicago
to get closer to the sun
she said "Tom, I love it here and it's only been a month"
I want to meet her on those peaks there
leave this homebody behind
find some Rocky Mountains with a Jersey state of mind
and those fire pits were glowing beneath the second-hand smoke
I should've been studying her curls but I was thinking about home
smoking Spirits reading star signs
I swear to god sometimes I don't know how to think
do you remember the bartender at Club Curtis?
I swear to god she looks just like my shrink
Lily passed out in her bedroom
and I slept on the couch
woke up with a dry head, left a note, and then walked out
well cry me a river of sake
my blood is whiskey from Japan
you're a leather-clad wolf-woman
I'm a fragile, wandering man
here's to Spirits and to champagne
and to never feeling lost
does it count as an Irish exit if they never leave your thoughts?
My dear friend Toren and I collaborated on these songs during our freshman year at Connecticut College when we performed as an acoustic duo. Sad, playful, painfully young, and pretty good. Connor Storms
