Numb Lyrics

There's memorabilia of a past life in this room

The shadow of new solitude

Of needing to just breathe next to you

I'll take my space in tune until someone busts me out

Put something bitter in my mouth

As we make haste to spread the blame around

Why we lay roots in different towns

Finally numb enough to go outside

Finally numb enough to go outside

There's nothing dangerous about this place anymore

Just well-lit vintage clothing stores

A life that your neighbors can't afford

Find something bigger if the small one fits you fine

A city running out of time

But you've abandoned all your picket signs

But the JMZ still runs on time

Man, we don't use the word gentrify

And they all did it, so why can't I?

Finally numb enough to go outside

Finally numb enough to go outside

Quiet on the phone is just quiet all the time

Is that what you want?

Get into a fight in your sublet every night.

Finally numb enough, still not having fun

Still not growing up, still not up to snuff

Saw you in a room, oh how I've missed you

Cry when you see me, love you Andy

Wrap you in a hug, rush through catching up

Squeeze your little hand, stay here with my band

Move to Ridgewood, Queens so you can be with me

The sunlight hits my cheek, and I'm ripped from the dream
