Song A Day #729: Carl Does Windows
29up in the sky
scraping by and
washing away the filth
my partner fell
and i'm 44 stories above the guilt
ready or not i'm not ready at all
i'm not ready to fall
we used to take turns
antiseptic it burned
my nose and stung my eyes
with a bucket of lies
he laughed and joked, he was disguised
ready or not the truth will fall
i'm not ready at all
she was the only woman that i ever loved
completely and deeply
and he looked me in the eye as we sat above
and told me, he told me
i watched him go
and the world got slow
i unlatched the safety bar
i didn't hear him hit
but my ears, they split with the sound of the honking cars
i picked up a sponge
and feeling numb
a man playing solitaire
i leaned back
and i felt myself relax
as i drifted through the air
ready or not i'm not ready at all
