I don't mind losing a girl to herself
A quiet love is better than none
And I don't mind losing a friend to a friend
If only to be a reasonable man

And I don't mind waiting if it's for the best
A careful heart is better than none

Every time you get a drink
And every time you go to asleep
Are those dreams inside you head
Is there sunlight on your bed
And every time you're driving home
Way outside your safety zone
Wherever you will ever be
You're never getting rid of me

You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me

You coulda made a safer bet
But what you break is what you get
You wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake

You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me
You own me
Lucky you

You own me
There's nothing you can do

You clean yourself to meet
The man who isn't me
You're putting on a shirt
A shirt I'll never see
The letter's in your coat
But no one's in your head
Cause you're too smart to remember
You're too smart
Lucky you

Let me come over I can waste your time I'm bored
invite me to the war every night of the summer
and we'll play G.I. blood, G.I. blood
we'll stand by the pool
we'll throw out our gold medals

Darling can you tie my string
killers are callin on me
my angel face is fallin
feathers are fallin on my feet
darling can you tie my string
killers are callin on me

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch

Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone

A little more stupid, a little more scared

Every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today

Everything I love gets lost in drawers

I want to start over, I want to be winning

Way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you

Put on a slow, dumb show for you

And crack you up

So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

God I'm very, very frightening

I'll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay

I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away

Can I get a minute of not being nervous

And not thinking I'm a dick

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins

I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in

You could drive a car through my head in five minutes

From one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you

Put on a slow, dumb show for you

And crack you up

So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain

God I'm very, very frightening

I'll overdo it

You know I dreamed about you

for twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for

for twenty-nine years

You were right about the end
It didn’t make a difference
Everything I can remember
I remember wrong

Now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me

Jesus christ you have confused me
Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
Forgive me girls I am confused
Stiff and pissed and lost and loose
