Years, days

You saw the ma
sterpiece, she
looks a lot l

Wrapping her l
eft arm around
your right
Ready to walk
you through
the night
[Verse 2]
You whisper to
a restless ea
r, “can you ge

This place sme
lls like piss
and beer, can

?”
You were askin

[Chorus]
You saw the ma

Wrapping her l

Ready to walk

Old stars fil

You gave em to

You took a dra

[Chorus]
You saw the ma
sterpiece, she
looks a lot l
ike you
Wrapping her l
eft arm around
your right
Ready to walk
you through
