Pick Up The Book Lyrics

Ghostess Pick Up The Book

Verse:
The Midnight hour starts to fade
But yet I lie awake
Wondering why my brain's delayed
To notice soon that dawn will break
The only thing I dread today
As the minutes slip away
That my bare feet with have the chore
Of waking up to a cold floor

Chorus:
You try to make me stay
I'll have hopped a train
Before you notice that I've gone
My shoes rest on the floor but how long
Until I'm walking out that door and I'm travelling on

Verse:
Came home early yesterday
Forgot to set the clocks ahead
A foriegn car in the drive way
fire engine red
Several garments in a pile
Lie on the bedroom floor
And there was lipstick on the sheets
In a shade I never wore

(Chorus)

Bridge:
I want some thoughts I can call sane
When will I ever get them back?
It feels like years gone down the drain
From where we were, to where we're at

(Chorus)
