Julien Baker - Choked Up lyrics

[Verse 1] Slip your fingers underneath the stitches of an off-white wedding gown And I'll lay you in a marriage bed of haystack in a bloody briar crown Our jaws are cauterized with alcohol, soldered shut by smoke And I don't want you to return my calls or tell me dirty jokes [Chorus] 'Cause if I'm being honest, I haven't taken my medicine I'm wasted and staying the night I'll sleep on your floor in my clothes You'll hide all your knives, with the bad dreams and the whiskey Tell your friends don't miss me— I know you don't Why would you? [Verse 2] Drive the length of the state and the sidewalk holds my fist And you were trading silver that you found on someone else's lips So don't you meet me in the front lawn for a hidden garden kiss 'Cause I see everyone I meet through the lenses on your wrists [Chorus] 'Cause if I'm being honest, I haven't taken my medicine I'm wasted and staying the night I'll sleep on your floor in my clothes You'll hide all your knives, with the bad dreams and the whiskey Tell your friends don't miss me— I know you don't Why would you? I know you don't Why would you? I know you don't Why would you?
