Great Big Sea

Hard Case

Great Big Sea


She goes down fast and comes up slow 
Gets in high and goes out low 
Turns up late or doesn't show 
She spends all her cash on letting go 

I'm never early 
I'm never late 
I'm in at 5 and out at 8 
Running just to keep the pace 
When I'm tired I put on my bravest face 

The sign said "Go Slow" 
And lord knows how I tried to follow 
Such a hard case with a soft face 
You gave me one taste, 
Now look at the shape I'm in 

I love her but i like you too 
My worst nightmare just came true 
We might be done but we're not through 
So drag me down just like you used to do 

Hold me down under the sea 
Drag me back to where we used to be 

With the morning comes the the sun 
The light of day just had to come 
Now I know you're not the one 
Should feel bad but baby we had fun
