benjamin francis leftwich - spokane, washington lyrics

[verse 1]
hey dad, how you doing? we ain’t spoken for a while
nothing much to tell you, but i think i’m doing fine
maddy’s getting married to a woman that i like
london’s still the same, n0body smiles

[verse 2]
i wake up in the morning and i get down on my knees
don’t know what i pray to, but i know that i believe
if the devil’s in the detail, then god is in the peace
slowly i’m learning how to breathe

[verse 3]
i met a girl in texas and she opened up my eyes
i didn’t see it coming, so i didn’t see it die
blinked and i had missed it is the story of my life
slowly i been learning how to fly

[chorus]
it’d either be cartoons or the local evening news
it’s a hotel room confession kind of night
this letter to you is the least that i can do
to tell you i don’t always get it right
yeah i’ve got time to k!ll in spokane, washington tonight

[verse 4]
i’m still the king of petty like i was at seventeen
got a handy j in bettys while finishing my tea
i think i’m getting better at getting over me
but i still have trouble letting trouble be
[verse 5]
miriam and me have started speaking once again
i don’t know where it’s headed, but i’m okay being friends
i send her all my demos, she’s a nightmare to impress
oh it’s something in the air when we connect

[outro]
late nights at the station after burger king is closed
i wander round in circles imagining your ghost
i see us on the platform standing in the snow
hey dad, i miss ya
i know i can’t be with ya
just know i’m feeling sad, but not alone
and writing you this letter feels like home
