|
I heard the sound of your bike |
|
as your wheels hit the gravel |
|
and your engine in the driveway, cutting off |
|
I pushed through the screen door |
|
and I stood out on the porch |
|
thinking fight, fight, fight, at all costs |
|
But instead I let you in |
|
just like I've always done |
|
I sat you down and offered you a beer |
|
and across the kitchen table |
|
I fired several rounds |
|
but you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared |
|
You came crawling back to say |
|
that you want to make good in the end |
|
oh, let me count the ways that I abhore you |
|
you were never a good lay |
|
and you never were a good friend |
|
but oh, what can I say, I adore you |
|
All I need is my leather |
|
one t-shirt and two socks |
|
I'll keep my hands warm in your pockets |
|
and you can use the engine blocks |
|
we'll ride out to California |
|
with my arms around your chest |
|
and i'll pretend this is real |
|
cuz this is what I like best |
|
You've been juggling two women |
|
like a stupid circus clown |
|
telling both we are the one |
|
and maybe you can keep me |
|
from ever being happy |
|
but you're not going to stop me |
|
from having fun |
|
So let's go, before I change my mind |
|
I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind |
|
cuz I am bigger than everything that came before |
|
you were never very kind |
|
and you let me way down every time |
|
but oh, what can I say, I adore you |
