Songs I Couldn't Keep

Verse 1

Drove my bike into the ground last spring

Sold the last thing that could fly

Mama's picture in a cardboard box

And my sister's voice still asking why

I swore I'd climb out clean

Shook for ninety days and stayed

Then one drink turned to a week

And I watched it all wash away

Pre-Chorus

Same road same ditch same rain

I built it up I burned it down again

Chorus

Falling off the wagon

Falling off the wagon

I keep losing everything I love

Falling off the wagon

Falling off the wagon

And the wagon never comes back up

Verse 2

They're taking the boat on Friday

Charges stacked up to the sky

My hands still know the melody

But nobody's gonna hear it when I'm inside

Mother gone and sister gone

And the songs stay locked in my chest

I got nothing left to hand the world

Except a life I couldn't keep at best

Pre-Chorus

Same road same ditch same rain

I built it up I burned it down again

Chorus

Falling off the wagon

Falling off the wagon

I keep losing everything I love

Falling off the wagon

Falling off the wagon

And the wagon never comes back up

Bridge

Maybe somewhere a melody waits

For a man who never made it out

Maybe someone hums it anyway

When there's no one left to sing it loud

Chorus

Falling off the wagon

Falling off the wagon

I keep losing everything I love

Falling off the wagon

Falling off the wagon

And the wagon never comes back up

Post-Chorus

Never comes back up

Never comes back up
