Light Breathing (Me And Martha Plimpton In A Fancy Elevator) 
Lawrence Arms

me and martha plimpton in an elevator 
her golden labrador kissed my index finger two in the morning summer saturated 
i'd been drinking and it'd been raining and it felt so strange 
cuz i didn't know what to say and when she smiled i turned away 
but that's so like me timid self conscious crippling 
she seemed so friendly and i must've seemed uninteresting soaked from walking 
and smelled like boozed and cigarettes 
i stood there listening to hear light breathing and 
i wanted to say that i really loved her films and 
i wanted to make her laugh and smile 
but i stood still i managed to mutter hello her eyes shining in the fancy elevator lights 
i stood awkwardly hands fluttering the doors parted and 
she said goodnight to me and her voice was like a song that wouldn't leave my head 
and i thought martha i'm running on empty 
and i couldn't help but think i'd missed another chance to live 
but isn't that the way it always is
