time & all you gave
|
i was the jerk who preferred the sea
|
to tussling in the waves
|
tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please
|
|
but now i see love
|
tracked on the floor where you walked outside
|
now i seek love
|
looking for you in this other girl's eyes
|
|
time & all you took
|
only my freedom to fuck the whole world
|
promising not to look
|
promising light on the sidewalk girls
|
|
but now i see love
|
there in your car where i said those things
|
now i see love
|
tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please
|
|
time & all you gave
|
there on your cross that i never saw
|
well beyond the waves
|
dunking my head when i heard you call
|
|
but now i see love
|
there in the scab where you pinched my leg
|
now i see love
|
there on your side of my empty bed
|
