Coats Songtext
von Make Do and Mend

A knock on the door from an old friend
That you thought that you′d never see again
You prayed that the sad seasons would end
But they weren't listening

So take your coat from the bin under the bed
I watch it go away
In the pale reflection of my face
Count the hours as they circle in the drain
I′m out of time to waste

To navigate the empty page
I'll need all the motivation I can fake
As far as I'm frankly concerned
There′s still no water when the faucet handle′s turned


We traded everything for untread ground
We spent the last two years too scared to slow down
Open your mouth, nothing comes out
Run yourself in circles 'til the bottom falls out

You hit the ground
Still I try to work it out
Made more excuses than my fingertips could count
With every age
There′s no progress made
There's just a wall of hesitation I could never work around

We traded everything for untread ground
We spent the last two years too scared to slow down
Open your mouth, nothing comes out
Run yourself in circles ′til the bottom falls out

I bit my nail to the quick
Just to show that I had
Nothing more to give
Nothing more to give

A knock on the door from an old friend
