I could bring myself to the bar
In spite of nothing
I could take my shelf full of wine
For a day of hiking
Hovering cigarette smoke
Clashing the breath from my weak lungs
And I can see
Your face in the dim light
Ranting about your ex and staring at a screen
Strangling the conversation, vouching for your lack of empathy
I could bring myself to the bar
In spite of nothing
Or I could take my shelf full of wine
For a day of hiking
Won't take a chance on a smile
No more preparing my life for
Catastrophe
I'm safe from the goodbyes
