Black Cat

Had to pick my jaw off the floor
When you walked into the black cat upstairs door

Ain't seen you in 15 years
But of course you'd find me here
After I've consumed too many beers
Gotta talk to you in italics
Acting like a smart alec
I've always been a nervous wreck around you

This is not how I pictured this
On the back of my eyelids
Every night since 2006

Had to pick my heart off the floor
When you walked away, brought me back to baltimore

Ain't seen you in 15 years
But of course you'd find me here
After I've consumed too many beers
Gotta talk to you in italics
Acting like a smart alec
I've always been a nervous wreck around you

This is not how I pictured this
On the back of my eyelids
Every night

This is not how I pictured this
Thought I'd be skinnier and swimming in success by now
This is not how I pictured this turning out
