Reading In Bed - Emily Haines

who’s in a bad mood who’s in a taxi turning the clock back

avoiding a fight with this man he is meeting stands in the lobby

counting his questions in the neon light

sinking under the river the sewer line touches the edge of the suburbs

back to the beach where a family is waiting on rumors of summer

lay out a blanket bring something to feed the birds

with all the luck you’ve had why are your songs so sad

you sing from a book you were reading in bed

and took to heart all of your lives unled reading in bed
