all the time

by brendan philip mccusker

verse

i missed the writing on the wall

invisible ink won’t glow 

if the neon signs aren’t on

i left the light on in the hall

but i guess i should have known

that you were already gone

pre

i threw a penny in the ocean 

caught a dream and threw it back

i bent and broke but now it’s easier to laugh

chorus

i think i’m falling behind

well i’m holding on the line

but i don’t mind it 

no i’ll always be fine

tough luck keeps robbing me blind

well i’m waiting on a sign

but i don’t mind

it only happens all the time

verse 2

we found a place on 51

the rooms were cold and dark

but it didn’t bother me

a blurry face out on the run

it stopped my beating heart

and dropped me on my feet
