these old bones
dont feel so old
when im home with you
when im not with you
im getting drunk with college kids
and learning lessons that didnt stick
telling lies to stay interesting

these old bones
dont feel so old
when im home with you
in bed your youth
the way your skin sticks to your ribs
the way my hips fit in your hips
im 18 again
dependent like an infant
im content like ive never been home

these old bones
dont feel so old
when im home with you
when im not with you
im shitting blood
and puking piss
sweating bile and awkwardness
its a young mans game
and its about time i quit
