Hogwash - Mend my ways

There's something in the way you laugh when you're drunk that tells me all the things I'm glad you're not I need days to forget a line of your face and I need tedious weeks to stop thinking of your skin just to realize : life's really a dope I keep dead leaves in my books for all the winters to come I keep the newspapers I read for all the awaiting days without memories and then it takes a glance and my heart beats faster and faster so...do you really think that I can't hide the truth ? when I feel lost no joy can help me to leave this town if I don't mend my ways, nothing could change and there'll be no hiding place
