apt 4

When the nighttime slays the sun
My thoughts of you have just begun
I’m taken back to apartment 4
Where I had been many times before
You opened up to let me in
I let you get under my skin
Nothing hits quite like the sight
Of trouble I know that I like

You’re only good to me
Between midnight and 3
You got your hands ‘round me
And I can barely breathe

Every time I walk away
I still feel the pull to stay
Every time I see that place
You just come back and you’re haunting me
Every time I choose to stay
Every time I turn the page
Every time I see your face
Still feels like you were yesterday

I’m thinking back, apartment 4
You smiling like you’re keepin’ score
Barefoot on the hardwood floor
A little taste of “life and death”
Walkin’ on the rooftop edge
You got your hands around my neck
You’re a habit I can’t break
A shadow I can’t seem to shake
A fever that I can’t escape
And when I wake up in the morning
And my kid still softly snoring
I’m reminded why I walk away
I walk away

You’re only good to me
Between midnight and 3
You got your hands ‘round me
And I can barely breathe

Every time I walk away
I still feel the pull to stay
Every time I see that place
You just come back and you’re haunting me
Every time I choose to stay
Every time I turn the page
Every time I see your face
Still feels like you were yesterday

Shut the door, draw the shade
Dim the light on yesterday
Shut the door, draw the shade
Dim the light on yesterday

Every time I walk away
I still feel the pull to stay
Every time I see that place
You just come back and you’re haunting me
Every time I choose to stay
Every time I turn the page
Every time I see your face
Still feels like you were yesterday
