Brown Bottle Flu Lyrics by Kevin Kerby

Apostle’s Tongues

2012

[Verse 1]
Poured my bones into my blue jeans, paid my money at the door
Said the killer to the crime scene, "What I come back here for?"
Was it for some sense of closure, 'fraid of all the things I'd missed?
All the men I could have laid out and all the girls I could have kissed?
Naw, that ain't it
[Chorus]
It was me spending weeks in my sick bed
It was me with the brown bottle flu
There's a picture that I keep upon my nightstand
And it's me falling back in love with you
[Verse 2]
Perhaps I thought I'd find the answer in the thick and smoky air
Turns out all I found was cancer and hipster facial hair
And ironic frat boy high-fives and iconic feats of drink
We knew it would not last forever, so we were all afraid to blink
But that still ain't it
[Chorus]
It was me spending weeks in my sick bed
It was me with the brown bottle flu
There's a picture that I keep upon my nightstand
And it's me falling back in love with you
[Verse 3]
I guess I'll stop by and see you every now and then
Throw my arms around your sweet neck, let you know that we're still friends
Let you know my heart's not hardened, and that I'm dry but not dried up
That I haven't reached the bottom, just the bottom of my cup
But that still ain't it
[Chorus]
It was me spending weeks in my sick bed
It was me with the brown bottle flu
There's a picture that I keep upon my nightstand
And it's me falling back in love with you
[Outro]
Yeah, it is me falling back in love with you
