lyrics

You know I don't wanna sing this song
Forever but for now it's keeping me warm
In a cold cold bed
but that's what I get
for burning down
my own home

I've only felt this way once before
Thumbs out on a gravel road
And a sunburnt back
but I guess that that's
what freedom is
so you can take it or pass

She might be the greatest thing
But a lifetime of perfection leaves me wondering
If these lines connect, or do they separate?
Can you regret mistakes you never made?

Something you said made me happy today
Not the words but just the way
You said them struck a chord
You were always good with a double-edged sword

You said I looked like a confident man
Self-fulfilling prophecy, now honey, I am
But I still don't know whether my old
Faith in love should stay or go

She might feel just the same
We'd like women to be angels but that's not the case
She don't belong to anybody else
and God help me if I belong to myself

Youth is wasted on the young but I
Kept a bit of it so I could try
To finish some
of what I hadn't done
Because I wasn't allowed
when I was young

So now I'm back on that stony road
My faith is placed in the next truckload
Of fertilizer
that might come by here
Pick me up
and give me a ride

You know I don't wanna sing this song
Forever but for now it's keeping me warm
In a cold cold bed
but that's what I get
for burning down
my own home
