Alex Greiner - Pavement

The dark makes quiet
And every light in the city sinks into
The mosaic of the water's surface.
You always were like a downpour
And I feel like raindrops
Dissolving into the pavement
I am sick of you
It's not your fault, I'm just more of a realist
I just held you in my hand to look cool
Thought we had a mutual agreement
This was a back pocket romance at best

Don't you cry for me
I can only cry for the city
And don't you waste your time with things
That don't have meaning
Cause it's a cardboard box thrown off of the dock
When I don't need
When I don't need you anymore

We are held together
By sadness and fear and boredom
When summers over
Everything falls back
Leave it on the sidewalk
Throw it over the Charles river
I can't be what you want
A few degrees colder
I am sick of you
It's not your fault, I'm just more of a realist
I just held you in my hand to look cool
Thought we had a mutual agreement
This was a back pocket romance at best

Don't you cry for me
I can only cry for the city
And don't you waste your time with things
That don't have meaning
Cause it's a cardboard box thrown off of the dock
When I don't need
When I don't need you anymore

I think I want to go back to Atlanta
I'll develop the photos on my disposable camera
And I'll hang them in my room next to childhood friends
And I'll see you in passing like the flare of the lens
And you are looking over the water
And I can see my reflection in you
And you are looking over the water
And I can see my reflection, see my reflection

I am sick of you
It's not your fault
Oh I swear it's not you
This was a back pocket romance at best

Don't you cry for me
I can only cry for the city
And don't you waste your time with things
That don't have meaning
Cause it's a cardboard box thrown off of the dock
When I don't need
When I don't need you anymore
