I pulled into the motel
White smoke flying out the back of my car
Another early end to
Another lonely day on a long road
Dodging every last friend's call

I got no end in mind
I know it's tickin time
Pickin at a pitiful scar
I wanna open it and float away
One last checkout, one long stay
You ain't gonna get very far

Thinking you're the only one
Tied up in right and wrong
Tangled in what's been done
A lifetime's lifeline

You're hangin on the ripchord
Falling faster son
Got to pull your own ripchord
Get the cord undone

Back to my room
TV,  meds, and booze
You ain't always what you did
But you are what you do
My pick me ups are bringing me down
I wanna go back, head up, eye contact
A kiss on the lips on the subway track
Our safe word is "baby is I love you"

Hanging on an apron string
Twisting in a one mile wind
Crashing in the end
Pull the cord, begin again

You're hangin on the ripchord
Falling faster son
Got to pull your own ripchord
Get the cord undone

Solo
[Is it ever too late
To wave your hand
Stop stop, I wanna drop from
Sight of myself]

[Next month is almost here
And I can barely stand
How am I supposed to walk
On streets so uneven]

No hanging on an apron string
Gonna make our own end
Y'all can just call us them
Cut the cord
Begin again
