Ben Gibbard - 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 [Chorus] And if I was sober Could I k** 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 [Chorus] What a difference it made What a difference it made [Chorus] What a difference it made What a difference it made
