Your Neck Of The Woods Devil Lyrics

They call me melancholy but I'm the smiling kind
Left alone here with the rusted thoughts of you
I'm stuck here in the city with a country kind of mind
The sky is buzzing like some sort of neon blue
And it seems like I'm always tired or I'm always overslept
Either way these are the thoughts that I'm used to
And I haven't slept a night now in almost thirteen years
At least I'm losing sleep right next to you
I've sang sadder songs
I've seen longer nights
The devil's on my shoulder saying I'm doing this all wrong
The angel's on the other saying I'm doing quite alright
I was told by a philospher whose words did smell of wine
Seven breaths for any questions I did have
I began to count upon my fingers as I began to breathe
Found any heavy thought I held fell through my hands
I could be the sun and I could wash it all away
Like a spider down your spout you'd climb
Smiling at your stars as they lead you your way
For a heart like yours they're more than glad to shine I've sang sadder songs
I've seen longer nights
The devil's on my shoulder saying I'm doing this all wrong
The angel's on the other saying I'm doing quite alright
So please come rescue me, I haven't been this lost in far too long
Darling can't you see I'm starting to get used to having you in these love songs
I watch your lips so delicately as they wrap around your words
Wishing my name's the next thing you'd like to say
It's gonna take a few tries before I get this right
But I like to think I'm more than well on my way
'Cause I have seen the darkness and I've seen the light
I will tell you which you're more likely to see
I have seen perfection in its overrated shine
And you're more than that and more than right for me
I've sang sadder songs
I've seen longer nights
The devil's on my shoulder saying I'm doing this all wrong
The angel's on the other saying I'm doing quite alright
