boxer's tale
Got a forest fire burning in your eyes
You don't idealize how to start a fight
Come on down to Main Street
Teach 'em how to be polite
And you can't deny
No, you can't deny
She keeps you close through the night
She needs your ghost like a guiding light
You drive her home and tell her this'll be the last time
But you can't deny
No, you can't deny
You know she'll be the one you run to
Sat there waiting by the door
Got some Joe to throw the punch to
Fist ain't bleeding anymore
Takes a lot to be the boxer
When you're broken on the floor
While you're tending to the docks
You're packing pennies in a drawer
The person that you're losing is the person she adores
Heart beats like a movie score
You keep her in the dark, known her all your life
Can't see past your mark, even for your wife
Hope for something different, it just cuts you like a knife
'Cause you can't survive
No, you can't survive
You feel her in the wind, easier to breathe
Give your all and more, maybe then you'll see
You show her your escape, be the man you need to be
'Cause you still believe
Yeah, you still believe
You know she'll be the one you run to
Sat there waiting by the door
Got some Joe to throw the punch to
Fist ain't bleeding anymore
Takes a lot to be the boxer
When you're broken on the floor
While you're tending to the docks
You're packing pennies in a drawer
The person that you're losing is the person she adores
Heart beats like a movie score
Lights dim on a faded square
And you still feel her everywhere
If you had a chance to leave yourself behind
You'd try
You know she'll be the one you run to
Sat there waiting by the door
Got some Joe to throw the punch to
Fist ain't bleeding anymore
Takes a lot to be the boxer
When you're broken on the floor
While you're tending to the docks
You're packing pennies in a drawer
The person that you're losing is the person she adores
Heart beats like a movie score
You don't idealize how to start a fight
Come on down to Main Street
Teach 'em how to be polite
And you can't deny
No, you can't deny
She keeps you close through the night
She needs your ghost like a guiding light
You drive her home and tell her this'll be the last time
But you can't deny
No, you can't deny
You know she'll be the one you run to
Sat there waiting by the door
Got some Joe to throw the punch to
Fist ain't bleeding anymore
Takes a lot to be the boxer
When you're broken on the floor
While you're tending to the docks
You're packing pennies in a drawer
The person that you're losing is the person she adores
Heart beats like a movie score

You're packing pennies in a drawer
The person that you're losing is the person she adores
Heart beats like a movie score
