lyrics

Will you ever find me a safe place?
just a lousy chair where I can be someone else
should I stop being honest again?
you can bless the shame or shave my face

Now I wonder if you’re kneeling on your carpet
lookin’ for something else to borrow and to lose
and I know that sometimes we don’t need to explain
it’s just a hug or a vinyl to share

Will I remember to wish you a happy birthday?
will you rent a house too far away?
we could shake our hands and start again
or stop to blame ourselves

I’ll be a marching band
through the interstate highways
playing the classics and looking for news
you’ll be so sad and sweet
washing your makeup under the rain
I’ll swallow the rainbow
and send you the warmest blankets

Now we’re watching these old stars
over a bunk bed
why do you always get the top?
It’s unfair
what we learned about the way to deal with people
if I’m wrong would turn me upside down?
