Lyric provided by www.seekalyric.com

Your breath smells like cigarettes
And all the things that are keeping your mouth dry
And I try to do or die
Or find the reason I can't say the same of my eyes
Are we dying to live or just trying not to see?
Are we dying to live or just killing a love so sublime.

And I can't seem to rid me of all the nights
That seem so meaningless now,
And I can't do what it is I'm supposed to,
I'm finding forgiveness forgetful now.
So just remember me when my letter comes
And I ship my conscience out west

And I swear I haven't been smoking again
But the drinking has to stop
And I promised to leave the message on your machine
But the rings total nine and you're not
Not home.
Please believe me, darling, I do this in remembrance of us
Please believe me, darling what I do I do for you…

And I can't seem to rid me of all the nights
That seem so meaningless now,
And I can't do what it is I'm supposed to,
I'm finding forgiveness forgetful now.
So just remember, come next September
And I ship my conscience west.

Bare, bare, lost and broken
You're a ragtime doll, you're my one bus token
It's a three hour plane ride that I won't let die
And I'm keeping the cold out, keeping the fire alive.
