Jess Yoakum: Audio & Video

Bubbles

(Jess Yoakum)
It’s Friday night and I’m watching bath bubbles form figures
Then dissolve around me like they’re clouds
I could absorb all this water and still shed no tears
I could hold my breath – forever

Chorus:
But, I don’t wanna know you’re gone
In my world of distractions, you’re one more song
I was determined not to need this, so determined not to see this
Coming, going, gone

I wasn’t ready for you, but I wasn’t ready for you change
And I clench my jaw tighter
Words and feelings escape in pained contortions
Maybe I’m just too proud to cry

Chorus

Baby you know, I’ve been keeping such bad company
And, I’d be ashamed for you to see me now
But, I can’t seem to find you at the bottom of this bottle
And, there’s no comfort in this stranger’s bed

Chorus
Coming, going, gone
Coming, going, gone
