lyrics

This is a recipe for the worst disaster
hike up your pants don't let your feet sink in the shit
Call off your dogs muzzle them leash them to the ground
and bite your tongue in preparation for the awful sound
it's bound to make, and we'll make it out unscathed

We cover the injuries with the sex and the laughter
the fight of your life wasn't what you dreamed it would always be
The night is gone your fumbling through your apologies
and your head it pound with memories of all the awful sounds
your mouth creates
and this may have been the one that breaks us.

It'll be a long time 'til you feel this way again about another man
but you'll find another man
and he'll be strong and he'll be kind and he'll say all the things you need to hear and goddamn will he say them right

but he won't be me

This was a good one
We had a good run.
