Drinking top-shelf tequila in a bathtub
Fell asleep, and when I woke
I got dressed up in my same old dirty clothes
For the fourth day in a row
The smell of you still cuts the clothes I'm in
I wrap your shirt around me, wear you next to my skin
And every now and then, I catch you on the wind
Like you've just left, every place that I go in

New Orleans, it was warm and spring
I slept out on the roof again
Two in the morning and I've had too much to drink
I swallow hard to keep from saying what I think
Laughter spills out from the bedroom upstairs
I'm in the kitchen, trying not to hear
Put on Billie Holiday, look for a beer
Tell myself that I don't want you, tell myself that I don't care

The smell of you still cuts the clothes I'm in
I wrap your shirt around me, wear you next to my skin
And every now and then, I catch you on the wind
Like you've just left, every place that I go in

Sit in the car, put the radio on
Parked at the curb, pretending that I'm gone
Tap out a tune on the steering wheel and sing along
Pretend I know the words, pretend that it's our song
There's a light out the window and I can smell the rain
And I wake up, and I don't know where I am
The whole house is shaking, strolling with the wind
Just like me, the wind wants in, the wind wants in
Just like me, the wind wants in
The smell of you still cuts the clothes I'm in
I wrap your shirt around me, wear you next to my skin
And every now and then, I catch you on the wind
Like you've just left, every place that I go in
