Keeper - The Beaches

I think this one’s a keeper

He’s not like the last one

We spend our days and nights up

On his velvet couches

He’s a bit of a stoner

It keeps his attention

He still lives with his mother

And father and sister

He likes to take me for

A drive up downtown

Running away with me

We drink in the crowds

But then it all goes silent

A yell then a whisper

He blew it up with secrets

He pulled on the trigger

Oh oh oh

'Cause I can’t say come over and

I can’t say when I’m into you

All the words that you lay down

Are nothing but broken

Met at the Silver Dollar

Sipped sevens and sevens

This one’s got me excited

He’s playing he’s winning

He’s got another lover

He told me he said so

He said that I’m much better

You know I believed him

He liked to take me for

A walk up downtown

Running away with me

We smoke in the crowds

But then it all goes silent

A yell then a whisper

He said I’m too invested

He pulled on the trigger

Oh oh oh

'Cause I can’t say come over and

I can’t say when I’m into you

All the words that you lay down

Are nothing but broken

And I can’t be in the moment

And I can’t run through the streets to you

All the words that you lay down

Are nothing but broken

I think this one’s a keeper

He’s not like the last one

We spend our days and nights up

On his velvet couches

He’s a bit of a stoner

It keeps his attention

He still lives with his mother

And father and sister

Oh oh oh

Cause I can’t say come over and

I can’t say when I’m into you

All the words that you lay down

Are nothing but broken

And I can’t be in the moment

And I can’t run through the streets to you

All the words that you lay down

Are nothing but broken
