Death Cab For Cutie - State Street Residental lyrics

Holding fast until the rent checks wear thin
Because it hasn't sunk in, so far
Well, it's a drab routine
The dust starts building
Until it's hard to come clean

Then the months stack up to an addict crutch
As if the drink weren't enough
A stagger cannot compete
There's no charm in being
Residential state street

And if I was sober
Could I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?

I wish you could know better than you show
With parted lips pointed down
That the whiskey soothes
More than you could ever do

And if I was sober
Could I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?

What a difference it made
What a difference it made

And if I was sober
Could I kill caution and stay over?
And if I was sober
Would I rip hearts apart like paper?

What a difference it made
What a difference it made
