How 'bout You

Brendan Benson


Does it break your heart each time I fall apart? 
Does it give you purpose in this life? 
And when I tell the truth 
Does it mean as much to you? 
I could never live a lie 
how 'bout you? 
And I don't think it's so wrong to feel 
I've lived too long 
Without the pull of gravity beneath me 
And it's not so hard to believe 
These tricks I use to deceive 
Like a rabbit from a hat or card up my sleeve 
Thought about being with you 
Thought how it's always been 
You takin' apart what I glued 
I know it's mine but it's crude I think you're so rude 
Follow the moon and the sun 
And all of the damage it's done 
I want to but I can't run 
I know it's only just begun 
It ain't no fun 
Thought about eyes of green 
And all of the shit that they've seen 
Never made it past seventeen 
Man what a scene 
You know what I mean? 
Thought of a skull and crossbones 
The poison it runs through our bones 
The junkies that live with their jones 
Always reaping what they've sown 
My mind is blown 
Thought of what's yours and what's mine 
And who all has got that much time 
Hey mister can you spare a dime? 
The words always rhyme 
The sun don't shine
