Room For Mistakes - Shearwater

Oh Michelle, where we dwell

There is room for mistakes

We’d make love on the fire escape

And as the neighbors all drove by

Their exhaust would spiral into the sky

Now you pick your earrings up off the nightstand

While I switch from my arm to my hand

As the morning streams through the blinds

Then I wake up again and it’s 12:09

And we lived out of town

With no one to come around

So we slept in all day

Until your job took you away

Now Michelle, your smell won’t leave my bed

I dreamed of a doctor

Here’s what he said

«It's just as well as you’re going to get»
