Lyrics The Long Winters

The Long Winters

Carparts

I'm leaving you all of my car parts

I didn't have the money or I would have gotten roses

You poured one more highball

But I had to go before my poor heart overflowed

Ceiling tiles and highway signs are flowing through my mind

You put all your hope in my slim chance

I didn't know I had

I'm leaving under cover of darkness

I never had a home where I didn't need to hide

I've seen every lover leave me the same way

The harder they are the harder I try

That's a lie, but I say it with a smile

You put all your hope in my slim chance

I didn't know I had

I don't even have cigarettes

Baby wasn't down with the heist

I just tried to do what I thought was right

But baby wasn't down with it

She wasn't down

I'm leaving you all of my car parts

I'll call you when I'm coming back again if I can

I mean to quit stealing as soon as I steal for the last time

At least my watch is right two times a day

You put all your hope in my slim chance

I didn't know I had

I don't even have cigarettes
