Caffeine Headaches

I don't know if its the caffeine headaches or my declining sense of despair
that's making me feel this way, like I don't care
about the rainy days as much as I used to
oh no they don't bug me like they did
if I could choose a place to stay forever,
it'd be diners and front porches together
no I don't care, let the rain fall
let the rain fall down
I don't know if its these Stax records or my declining sense of vulnerability
that's making me feel this way, like I can finally care
about the sunny days as much as I used to
oh no they don't bug me like the did
if I could choose a place to stay forever,
it'd be diners and front porches together
no I don't care, let the rain fall
let the rain fall down

I'm not drowning my sorrows, still I'm filling my glass
not a toast, not a roast, just a fact
hiding from our usual haunts because of our past
I'm not dwelling but I'm not moving on
I don't owe you an explanation
still I'm getting emotional whiplash
I'm not saying that I'm trying to replace you
but it'd take a thousand girls just to fill the hole you left
I'm not saying I have total regrets
only in how the way things had went
I'm not dwelling, but I'm not moving on

I spent election night in the arms of someone else
and in a cloud of smoke and sweat
my mind drifted to you
were you drunk and staring at the stars like me?
were you thinking that our separation destabilized this universe like me?
and I know we're all terrified of what comes next
turn uncertain shaky hands into clenched fists
put aside our broken hearts
comrades until the end
the world is falling apart
and I can't even hold your hand
even in these crowded streets
I can pick you out down the bloc
did you feel our hands brush when you were next to me?
or are these barricades to impassable to reach out, like me?
and I know we're all terrified of what comes next
turn uncertain shaky hands into clenched fists
put aside our broken hearts
comrades until the end
the world is falling apart
and I can't even hold your hand
