Its been eleven Wednesdays
Since I moved out of our house
Fourteen if I'm counting the weeks
I slept out on the couch
I’m the first name on your list of
Emergency contacts
And you can't drive yourself home
If you've had anesthesia for a gum graft
The hygienist brings you out to me
Like a little kid
With ice packs pressed against your cheeks
And a novocaine lisp
Your bottom lip is swollen
Like we spent all night kissin’
I call us a taxi before
I tear up reminisicing
We make small talk in the backseat
The dentist said you're a tongue thruster
I crack a dirty joke that goes over your head
Cause you just gone under
Then we walk through the front door
Like a portal back in time
I fall into our old routine
Like it didn't blow up our life
I'm reading beside you in the bed
With the dog curled up between us
You're sleepin' off the vicodin
And I still praise you more than Jesus
I wanna bring you tea
I wanna make you laugh
I wanna tuck you in
I wanna draw a bath
I wanna be so good to you
Even through you've been so bad to me
I know its sick but I wanna take your pain
I can take it I can take anything
If you let me in
But I'm kept at arm’s length
I wanna bring you tea
I wanna make you laugh
I wanna tuck you in
I wanna draw a bath
I wanna be so good to you
Even through you’ve been so bad to me
I wanna kiss you soft
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna make it better
I wanna understand
I wanna be so good to you
Even through you've been so bad to me
I know its sick but I wanna take your pain
I can take it I can take anything
If you let me in
But I’m kept at arm's length
