lyrics

Sometimes pretend how it could be? Squinting your eyes or straining to see, not how I am, but something more free, a far-off vision of me. It's hard to be so hard with the sun going down, but there are kind, kind women in this town. I have it in me to clear out the bar, or drive them from town, "Let me out of this car", and I know it well, how bad it can be, so please just go easy on me. I can get by on the fear in the eyes, the turn to the side when the tears start to rise, but it's easy to tire of fuelling a fire, along comes a new state of mind. There's no sense in forcing a flower to bloom, it's water and light and give it some room. I fill up my lungs and check on it soon, and set down what I mean to a tune. It's funny how little time really cares, the barkers still sound as we peddle our wares. Our memory and worry eternally bound to the kind, kind women in this town.
