A late October haze
Quiet like a riddle
Stuck in the middle
Of a new place
But I'll dive in
Nothing to lose
But I'll keep that from you
Please don't let me win
And I'm counting loose change
From these "I can't afford you baby"
You are me
And we are stuck
'Cos the thing about us lately
Is that you want more than a "maybe"
I would trade
If I had to
For a little more company
Black gloves, the best dress and a stranger's eulogy
A smile like bait
That kind of evening for something unreeling
Undesired haste
Watch for the guard
The troublesome kind
Who advise from speaking your mind
Can you bleed with an empty heart?
Locked in a state
Of "I would but they might hate me"
You are me
And we are stuck
'Cos the thing about us lately
Is that you want more than a "maybe"
I would trade
If I had to
For a little more company
Black gloves, the best dress and a stranger's eulogy
I'm sick from the taste it leaves in my mouth
I wash with salt and hot rum
I can tell you want peace of mind
Well I'll say I'm doing fine
I'm just a stain in time
I'm sick from the taste it leaves in my mouth
I wash with salt and hot rum
I can tell you want peace of mind
Well I'll say I'm doing fine
I'm just a stain in time
