Crying Wolf

Julien Baker

Compositor: Julien Baker

Day-one chip on your dresser
Get loaded at your house
I ask if you remember
You say: I don't know what you're talking about
Swallow the truth
Push the charcoal down my throat
(When) I finally come to
Maybe I'll have something to show
It's the first day of the new year
All the visitors went home
I found out what I thought was
Just a pretty trick of smoke
Couldn't stand the thought of
Having everything to lose
So I tied a knot

'Cause I'm not crying wolf
I'm out here
Looking for them
In the morning when I wake up
Naked in their den
I'll swear off all the things I thought
That got me here
And in the evening
I'll come back again

'Cause I'm not crying wolf
I'm out here
Looking for them
In the morning when I wake up
Naked in their den
I'm out here
Looking for them
In the morning when I wake up
Naked in their den
I'll swear off all the things I thought
That got me here
And in the evening
I'll come back again
