Safety Blanket from Steak & Eggs by Natalie Fideler

Party at our place
A couple bottles down the hatch
Said they’d be back in ten
So we waited for your car
The headlights pull up
And we shout, “Thank you god”
As you put up, pull up, show up,

I’ll never be your girl
As much as I’d like to,
You’re too far inside yourself
The war between my lungs
Can only be solved by
Our breathing coexisting

You used to be my safety blanket,
But I got too warm
Guess I’ll have to trust my skin

There’s strength in our number
So count your blessings as they leave
Choices made after midnight never come cheap
I’m wringing my hands hoping you’ll ring the doorbell
And crawl back with apologies

Tell me not to worry
That the voices in my head are all made up
But just like Dumbledore said,
Why would in my head mean they’re not real?

You used to be my morning protein shake,
But I’m too buff
Guess I’ll stick with steak and eggs

I think I’ll never come back
And see the city this way
Orange and pink fade to blue
I’m still thinking of you
Turn that playstation on
And pretend we’re all okay
It’s just fine
