lyrics

in your pretty old coat
hides a fairer site still
and when I started this angry
I thought about you
and the rest
just all disappeared

you smoothed out the edges
of a roughly hewn heart
and when it comes to these matters of love
everyone thinks they're so smart

I'm breaking up for wanting more
she couldn't have met me on the other side
I had a surprise
I had so much in store
we never got to walk along the shore.

Now and not then
I have learned not to kill
The desire
To put up a fight for love
Just for the thrill

But you kept me on level
Because we all must endure
If we all thought alike
About love,
We'd be done for for sure

I'm breaking up for wanting more
You wanted to meet me on the other side
I have a surprise
I have so much in store
I promise we'll get to walk along the shore.

in your pretty old skirt
that I've never seen before
we walked through the market together
with strawberries galore

on the hottest days of summer
thin city air to breathe
we toasted together with orange pop
how soon we would leave

I can't ask for anything more
you came and met me on the other side
you made me realize
none of this is a chore
and we've already walked along the shore.
