An Angle

I live just above a coffee shop
about 2 blocks form the capital
and each morning I count these steps
before I head outside the high front door
my friends are waiting to cross the street
we all share our hearts on a barstool and a drink

and each morning I find mysel
to stumble onto my couch
I turn the tv set on
as the news reporter sings out loud,
"we are all in fear of what we dont love"

and there's this girl
she sees between the oldest
so she'll give me the oldest drink
and she can't recognize beauty
'cause that's all she sees
so she steps out of the door
with her backpack in one shoulder
and my heart in the other
and my heart in the other
and my heart in the other
and my heart in the other

we're all trying to find someone
who we just met or followed
we're all just trying to find the truth
yeah, what is fact or fictional
but this is the woman I love
across the phone she listens to me
drink myself to death

and so I guess I'm someone
who can't ive without you
so let's make love
like it was our first time
and this song,
it will beg us to be entwined again
and we'll live again
and we'll live again
and we'll live again

and my friends say I have a way with words
a way with words
and they are listening to what comes out
like it's fucking pure
cause it's so pure

so I finally have got something to say
we are free to do whatever we please
and we are free to do
like destroying the country
and we are free to do
like loving someone so completely
and I am free to take this drink
yeah, I am free to take my drink
so let me take my drink
let me take my drink
let me take my drink
let me take my drink
let me take my drink
and let me be free
