Sunflower Seeds

Well I'm slurring my words but they still hit her where it hurts
I'll forget it all by Thursday but she'll be wondering if she's worthy for a long long while
And I think I love her but I hate to pull her under
I'm a rowdy raging thunder in the summer sun of Southern California
She's sure that she can save me with her smile

Well I'm sleeping on the floor again
Lord it's only 4pm
I was missing better days dear so I stayed up all night
And I know it's not a good excuse
But I told you that I would be useless
If you insist I'll stay here but I cannot love you right

And I hear her crying on the phone to her mama and all her friends back home
They tell her she deserves someone with shoulders to hold his head on but she don't ever bite
And I can't give her what she needs and I tell her that every time she pleads
I'm a cause as lost as sunflower seeds that fall between the Subaru seats on a dark and starving night

And I'm sleeping on the floor again
Lord it's only 4pm
I was missing better days dear so I stayed up all night
And I know it's not a good excuse
But I told you that I would be useless
If you insist I'll stay here but I cannot love you right

And it drives me fucking crazy
How you swear that you can save me darling
Everybody wants to and they all think they will
No you're never gonna fix me
I'll just pull you right down with me
Through a dark and dingy bar and down a steep and steady hill
