I don’t mean to be so deadpan
I’ve been living out of trashcans.
I’ve been doing what I can
And nothing more.
Don’t you tie me to the bed frame
Or hide me in the bedsheets
I’ve had enough of these head games
Go to sleep.
I got what I want
But not what I need.
I don’t want to be a sad man
So let me be.
You talk about forgiveness
While you sharpen your teeth.
My mind can’t rest
And I’m not listening.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
If you’re picking at scabs
Of course it bleeds.
When we talk about love
It’s always tongue-in-cheek.
Drinking wine in the back room,
And you’re staring at me.
In my calloused hands
Holds a ladies drink.
I got what I want...
When we were just kids
We played in the street
Lighting bombs in Coke cans
Down by the creek
Now we’re all grown up
And it’s plain to see.
We’re just bigger kids
With bigger dreams.
