SCREAMING AT LOVE
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

Why am I not drinking tonight?
The moon is out and the stars are bright
good time to get a little bit foggy
good time to get a little bit foggy
why am I not drinking tonight?

Why am I not thinking of you?
It's after 10, it's what I do
you float in and make me nostalgic
float in and make me nostalgic
why am I not thinking of you?

Five feet from a bottle of whiskey
wouldn't take me long to find my hum
but my mind doesn't know the story
my mouth wants it but my hands aren't pouring
no

Why am I not screaming at love?
At the floor below and the roof above
Now is when I'd see your face
and take it out on this place
why am I not screaming at love?

Do I not love you anymore?
When I wasn't looking did I close the door?
Pretend this thing was never inside me
pretend this thing was never inside me
Do I not love you anymore?

Five feet from a phone to call you
but I'd rather hear the mice inside the wall
I don't feel you gone in the darkness
I just want to sleep and move along

I'm not drinking tonight
the moon is out and the stars are bright
should probably fix the holes in the drywall
should probably fix the holes in the drywall
I'm not drinking tonight
