Please honey, help me home tonight
These legs of mine don't work quite right
& I'd apologize
But you've heard this line hundreds of times
In hindsight, must I pay the price
For places where you're rounded right?
We fell like flies
These language lost largely to time
A spell of helpless promise then
A blush of what I could have been
Something good again
You're never too thin or too pure
I'm sure
Wait for someone to sing
& dream of unspeakable things
Those debts we've made and surely can't afford
Rest a**ured, they'll be paid for
So sweetie, see me home tonight
My airs are not quite rarified
But I love you more than life
Ill-advised of what that must imply
You sacrifice, you compromise
So why can't I be satisfied
Oh christ, I know you tried
But that dear deer had to die
Wait for someone to sing
& dream of unspeakable things
Those depths we dredge & surely can't endure
Heaven knows that we're done for
Still better best remembered when
The way I may have never been
Something sweet again
I suppose then we've chosen what's best
So say that I still look okay
& pray this all makes sense some day
So fell the welterweight
Seldom safe now I know my place
