Back to Bed

You are my addiction

The needle and the spoon

There were parts of me that loved you

But they ran away too soon

I am sorry if I hurt you

That wasn't my intent

I will pack my bags and leave this place

So why don't you go back to bed

I remember what she said to me

On the day she finally left

It was October 17th

We had not yet made the bed

I sat there in the living room

Drinking coffee all alone

As she paced the hallway silently

Til I asked her what was wrong

And she said

You are my addiction

The needle and the spoon

There were parts of me that loved you

But they ran away too soon

I am sorry if I hurt you

That wasn't my intent

I will pack my bags and leave this place

So why don't you go back to bed

Oh oh

Back to bed

Oh oh

When I first regained my consciousness

And awoke to all the noise

I was staring out a window

Minutes outside of Detroit

I bet she's still in Michigan

Somewhere far away from me

But her voice rings in my nightmares

Where she comes to me and screams

You are my addiction

The needle and the spoon

There were parts of me that loved you

But they ran away too soon

I am sorry if I hurt you

That wasn't my intent

I will pack my bags and leave this place

So why don't you go back to bed

Oh oh

Back to bed

Oh oh

This afternoon I thought about

The last mistakes I made

I am not sure what I did to her

Or how I pushed her away

And with the winter closing in on me

I am falling far behind

Like when I first lost my innocence

And then I lost my mind

You are my addiction

The needle and the spoon

There were parts of me that loved you

But they ran away too soon

I am sorry if I hurt you

That wasn't my intent

I will pack my bags and leave this place

So why don't you go back to bed

Oh oh

Back to bed

Oh oh

Back to bed

Oh oh

Back to bed

Oh oh
