lyrics

You sounded like a maniac
When you dug your thumbs into my back
I made you scream
Like a baby
It’s the end of the day
Let it lay
I want to go home

These days you’re just a memory
A beautiful face that I see in my dreams
I wake up screaming
Like a baby
It’s the end of the day
Let it lay
I want to go home

You sat like a statue
As the years emptied out my eyes
When I turned blue
I looked up at you
A heap on the floor
Watched you walk out the door

You are not my enemy
Despite everything you might think
Or hear or see
You made me scream
Like a baby
It’s the end of the day
Let it lay
I want to go home

The sun was coming down
Yet the rain refused to stop
In slo-mo
I watched you go
The trail of your car
Like a shooting star

Been crying for a little while
I’m trying to teach myself how to smile again
I sit here screaming
Like a baby
It’s the end of the day
Let it lay
I want to go home

It’s the end of the day
I just want to lay down
Let me go home
I want to go home

about

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
