Karl Kuehn - Lacquer lyrics

You weren't born in the summer So your hair was softer than mine And you were poised Cool calm and collected You taught me not to worry About my fiction life And you were right But this was wrong And i knew it all along You can't wash away What's cast inside the plaster Or underneath the lacquer Cuz it's been engrained in me Since I was just fifteen that most things Go away after a good night's sleep But baby that's not true Not with me and you I wasn't born in the winter That's why my hair is always dry And I'm not big on submission But I've got 20/20 vision That's how I caught you Scoping out my thighs From across the room That's when I knew we were doomed Now your pretty boy arms and your charm Are fogging up all I do And I swore that I would finally move on From unrequited love songs But I was wrong What would you do With a guilty conscience And a new pair of shoes Would you acknowledge a flea With an elephant's memory In the name of mysteries unsolved I bet you regret getting involved
