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