Punches

Pelican smile
Won't you stay awhile?
(You said it, you said)
Sleep with the dogs
I'll dream in and out
(You said it, you said)

I don't recall
Getting a call
Or knowing where you were on Saturday night
I never left
I just stayed in bed
Cause I didn't feel like fighting with you

You'd come to town and we'd play nice
Put on our best faces and show everyone

I still recall getting a call
Where neither of us could tell the truth
I eventually left and I went to bed
Cause I didn't feel like crying with you

What we don't say
Piles up every day
Biting your tongue
It's out of my hands
We could fix it if we tried
But is it really right
To waste all the water on old, dead plants?

Is what you really want to be in love
Or just someone to talk to when your plane lands?
We could fix it if we tried
But is it really right
To waste all the water on old, dead plants

And if you can't take the fall
I'll take all the punches
If you still don't understand why
Then use your assumptions
Like you do anyway
Now we're just left with
This pit in our stomach
You can call it a truce
I'll leave that up to you
I just hope that you see that I'm not
What you need
