Sometimes I don't like being where I am
|
No matter what
|
I'd rather be in a barrel of kosher salt and pickle brine
|
With a thousand paper cuts
|
I'm uncomfortable in my own skin you might say
|
Feeling my own guts
|
So tell me something about yourself sweetheart
|
Before I screw this whole thing up
|
|
You say you feel like a phony romancer
|
Though you still believe in love
|
Make you feel like a dancer
|
Like you got all the answers
|
Leave you wonderin' what you were made of
|
You don't see no chain mail hiding puppy dog tails
|
I've been sufficiently horrified
|
I got just enough left to wanna see what's next
|
Why don't we give this love a try
|
|
Let's give this love a try
|
All we can do is cry
|
Hang out your tears to dry
|
Let's try this love
|
Let's give this love a try
|
The sun's setting in your eyes
|
I'm all out of when and why
|
Let's try this love
|
|
I never met two people more likely to explode
|
Scattered, chopped, screwed, covered up and smothered into each other arms
|
Please forgive me my basic negativity
|
God help us both if you find it even part of my charm
|
By the way you swept me off my feet
|
With the gentleness of an angel flying by
|
I'm a long shot baby, but they do come in
|
Why don't we give this love a try
|
|
Let's give this love a try
|
All we can do is cry
|
Hang out your tears to dry
|
Let's try this love
|
Let's give this love a try
|
The sun's setting in your eyes
|
I'm all out of when and why
|
Let's try this love
|
|
I'm all out of when and why
|
Let's try this love
|
