Being where I am
No matter what
I'd rather be
In a barrel of kosher salt
And pickle brine
With a thousand paper cuts
I'm uncomfortable
In my own skin you might say
Feeling my own guts
So tell me something
About yourself sweetheart
Before I screw
This whole thing up
You say you feel
Like a phony romancer
Though you
Still believe in love
Make you feel like a dancer
Like you got all the answers
Leave you wonderin'
What you were made of
You don't see no chain mail
Hiding puppy dog tails
I've been sufficiently horrified
I got just enough left
To wanna see what's next
Why don't we give this love a try
Let's give this love a try
All we can do is cry
Hang out your tears to dry
Let's try this love
Let's give this love a try
The sun's setting in your eyes
I'm all out of when and why
Let's try this love
I never met two people
More likely to explode
Scattered, chopped, screwed,
Covered up
And smothered
Into each other arms
Please forgive me
My basic negativity
God help us both
If you find it
Even part of my charm
By the way
You swept me off my feet
With the gentleness
Of an angel flying by
I'm a long shot baby,
But they do come in
Why don't we give
This love a try
Let's give this love a try
All we can do is cry
Hang out your tears to dry
Let's try this love
Let's give this love a try
The sun's setting in your eyes
I'm all out of when and why
Let's try this love
I'm all out of when and why
Let's try this love
Sometimes I don't like Being where I am No matter what I'd rather be In a barrel of kosher salt And pickle brine With a thousand paper cuts I'm uncomfortable In my own skin you might say Feeling my own guts So tell me something About yourself sweetheart Before I screw This whole thing up You say you feel Like a phony romancer Though you Still believe in love Make you feel like a dancer Like you got all the answers Leave you wonderin' What you were made of You don't see no chain mail Hiding puppy dog tails I've been sufficiently horrified I got just enough left To wanna see what's next Why don't we give this love a try Let's give this love a try All we can do is cry Hang out your tears to dry Let's try this love Let's give this love a try The sun's setting in your eyes I'm all out of when and why Let's try this love I never met two people More likely to explode Scattered, chopped, screwed, Covered up And smothered Into each other arms Please forgive me My basic negativity God help us both If you find it Even part of my charm By the way You swept me off my feet With the gentleness Of an angel flying by I'm a long shot baby, But they do come in Why don't we give This love a try Let's give this love a try All we can do is cry Hang out your tears to dry Let's try this love Let's give this love a try The sun's setting in your eyes I'm all out of when and why Let's try this love I'm all out of when and why Let's try this love Explain Request ×
