The Pretty Innocent
And I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
And I don't need a witness
To know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
- sweet summer night
- and I'm stripped to my sheets
- Foreman is leaking; my AC squeaks
- And a voice from the clock says
- "You're not gonna get tired"
- My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire
- Soak my head in the sink for a while
- It chills my neck and it makes me smile
- But my bones gotta move and my skin's gotta breathe
- You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
- You slide down the stairs to the eager street
